We are trying to find out whatever we can about the following:
'The illustrious and renowned history of the seven famous champions
of Christendom. In three parts.' L: For L. Hawes, and Comp.; C.
and R. Ware; and S. Crowder, 1766. 12mo. 156pp.
ESTC N16797. [Harvard; UCLA]
Cataloguing it, it was discovered, at the base of B11r (p.45), a
small circular woodcut with the word 'FACSIMILE' in it see image
here <http://www.RandallHouseRareBooks.com/facsimile.jpg>
The leaf absolutely matches the rest of the book. We have never
seen this woodcut or anything similar and would very much like to
solve the mystery.
