Utopia:
Utopia is a 1685 London edition of Thomas More's political fiction, printed for Richard Chiswell and sold by George Powell in Chancery Lane, with a text edited by Gilbert Burnet. The pictures are pages of letterpress type: a large decorated opening capital, a display title in roman and small capitals, and a row of repeated black ornamental pattern blocks. A designer might take from them the power of a dropped initial, the contrast of mixed capitals in a title line, and the rhythm of a repeated border ornament.
