Bookplate, probably commissioned by George Preston, of Holker Hall, for inclusion in his copy of the Geneva-Tomson Bible (London: Robert Barker, 1607; STC 2199). Upon the death of Thomas Braythwait, of Ambleside, the Bible passed to Preston, who is also depicted in a miniature painting of Braythwait on his deathbed, which is inserted in the preliminaries of the same Bible. The Bible, with bookplate and miniature, is now in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art.
