A 1658 London tragicomedy by Thomas Meriton, printed by Thomas Leach for the booksellers Thomas Collins and William Burden and sold in Cannon Street, and reportedly acted privately by its author and friends. The two pictures are a decorative initial letter S with foliate ornament and a library shelf mark beside a bookplate showing a shield with a bull's head crest and bull heads on a diagonal bar, which suggests how early printers used ornamental initials and heraldic devices as decorative anchors on a page.
