This is a 1638 London printing by John Norton of William Barlow's account of the 1604 Hampton Court Conference, a religious debate between King James and the Church of England clergy, intended for clergy and readers of ecclesiastical history. The four pictures are decorated woodcut initial letters T and I framed by scrolling foliage, plus a strip of two musician angels, all in a stiff, symmetrical early-seventeenth-century style that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals, borders, and dividers.
