A 1639 London printed play by Philip Massinger, printed by Edward Griffin for the bookseller John Waterson and written for audiences at the Globe theatre. The picture shows a large decorative woodcut initial T with curling foliate and scrollwork, beside lines of black-letter type opening a preface, so a designer could take the ornamental capital and its dense interlaced leafwork as a model for display lettering.
