"A prominent feature of 'Theophila' is the engraved plates with which it is profusely illustrated, and hardly two copies of the book are known containing exactly the same number of plates. It has been supposed that many copies were used by the author for presentation to his friends, and that in such copies he added plates which do not appear in the ordinary book-seller's copies."--Grolier Club.
Title page printed in red and black.
In some copies, leaf O2r (page 123) has 12 lines of engraved verse in blank space at bottom. According to H. Jenkins, Edward Benlowes, 1602-1676 (Cambridge, Mass., 1952), Benlowes owned a rolling press and may have added the engraved lines himself.
