The following is a list of occurrences which I have found of the Newcomb ornaments,
factotums, and initials pictured in the final pages of this study. Each of the three
types of ornamentation has its own heading and separate series of numbers. The entry for
each decoration contains this information: (1) an identifying number corresponding to
that accompanying the picture of the decoration; (2) the approximate millimeter
measurements, with the vertical measurement occurring first; (3) a listing of the books
in which the particular decoration is to be found, chronologically arranged and
subdivided among the various printers who owned and used the decoration during specific
periods of years. "RAWORTH" means always John Raworth, active from 1638 to 1646; "R.
RAWORTH", Ruth Raworth, 1646-1648; "NEWCOMB," Thomas Newcomb, Sr., 1648-1681; "NEWCOMB
JR.," Thomas Newcomb, Jr., 1682-1688(?). Books in the following list printed before or
during 1640 are cited according to the numbers assigned them in the Pollard and Redgrave
S.T.C. The remainder are cited according to the numbers given
them in the three volumes of the Wing S.T.C.; the numbers of
books listed in the unpublished third volume have been supplied from proof sheets
through the courtesy of Mr. D. G. Wing and the Princeton University Library. The
occasional book not found listed in either S.T.C. is cited by
short title. Where Wing has assigned only one number to a play known to appear in two
editions during a single year, I have appended to the Wing number the numbers assigned
the different editions by Woodward and McManaway in A Check-list of
English Plays 1641-1700. The brackets enclosing any S.T.C.
number indicate that the book has been identified by means of the ornaments as
the presswork of a particular printer although his name does not appear
in the imprint.
The decorations pictured are reproduced usually at approximately life-size; those
pictured at less than life-size—generally reduced about one-fifth—are marked
with an asterisk accompanying the measurements beneath the picture.
