I feel confident that the woodcut is not intended for a portrait of Henry VI, and that it really represents some Old Testament personage: but I have not attempted to trace it in other books.
It has a border in three pieces. Those on _R._ and _L._ are 115 mm. in height and contain small figures of prophets standing on tall shafts: that at bottom was designed to be placed vertically, and contains a half-length figure of a prophet springing out of foliage, and with foliage above.
On A I _b_ the woodcut is repeated without the border.
Then follows the text as given by me. After it, on B IV _a_, is Robert Coplande's device, measuring 80 × 95; a wreath of roses and leaves, comprised within two concentric circles: within it the printer's mark.
Outside in the upper _L._ corner a rose slipped and leaved: in the upper _R._ corner, a pomegranate.
Below, a scroll inscribed: Robert (_rose_) Coplande.
On B IV _b_ the woodcut of the king, without border.
Capgrave's _New Legende_, beginning imperfectly in the Table
This is preceded by two inserted leaves of paper: on the first are the missing items of the Table, supplied in a rough hand of cent. XVI. On the second, in a hand of cent. XVIII, is:
Printed at London by Richard Pynson Printer to the Kings Noble Grace the 20th day of February 1516. Vid. Page 133.
This book was found in the Town Clerk's Office about the latter end (of) the year 1765.
At the end of the Table (before A I) is written in a hand of cent. XVI:
The abbridgement of henry the syxthes lyfe ys fastned to the ende of this booke.
At top of A I (cent. XVI) is: T. T. Collected by Caxton.
On A VIII _b_, B II _a_ is the name (cent. XVI):
He has written a good many marginal notes in the book.
