The worthines of Wales: wherein are more then a thousand seuerall things rehearsed: some set out in prose to the pleasure of the reader, and with such varietie of verse for the beautifying of the book as no doubt shall delight thousands to understand
The Worthines of Wales is a 1587 London book of prose and verse about Wales, written by Thomas Churchyard and printed by G. Robinson for T. Cadman for general readers. The pictures are small woodcut initial letters and square ornamental blocks with dense, symmetrical foliage, grotesque faces, and cherubs, which a designer could adapt for decorative capitals, borders, or sixteenth-century printed page ornament.
