The King of the Golden River (1898)
These designs first appeared in about 1893 or 1894. (The "Contents" design later appeared in gilt on the cover of Charles Kingsley's Westward Ho! . It also became the headpiece for the "Introduction" to In Distance and In Dream)..
And, most recently, I found it used on a "Save the Date" invitation for December, 2013 !! Apparently you can purchase this image at Etsy.com. It costs $1.50 !!
Other titles, nearly all in the "Cosy Corner" series, with one or both of these headpieces include:

[ I would like to thank all the librarians around the country, including most recently Colleen Barrett of the Lilly Library, Indiana University, Kris McKusker in Special Collections at the University of Colorado at Boulder, Gwen Vanderhage at the Denver Public Library, Lin Doversberger at the University of Notre Dame, Cara Gilgenbach at Kent State University, Maureen Brunsdale at Illinois State University, and the staff at the University of Chicago Libraries, who have helped me to develop this list. Without assistance from colleagues like these, this project would be a far more difficult enterprise!]
