EBSWORTH, Joseph Woodfall., BRATHWAIT, Richard. · 1878 · Robert Roberts · 7 pictures

Joseph Woodfall Ebsworth's 1878 reprint, printed by Robert Roberts, of Richard Brathwait's 1615 verse collection of epigrams and satires, issued for Victorian antiquarians and collectors of early English poetry. The illustrations are black-line woodcut headpieces and tailpieces in a revived sixteenth-century manner: symmetrical foliate scrollwork flanked by winged putti and grotesque beasts, and a hanging ornament of crossed torches, swags and confronted dragons above an urn, all usable as rules, panel fillers and title-page devices.
