Von der Menschwerdung Jesu Christi, wie das ewige Wort sey Mensch worden ...
A 1682 German devotional treatise by Jakob Böhme on the incarnation of Christ, printed by an unnamed publisher and aimed at a Lutheran reading public. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a printer's device, with foliate ornament around large letters, and they show how early modern printers framed text with plant-based ornament a designer could adapt for display lettering.
