A 1570 Basel edition of Girolamo Cardano's commentary on Hippocrates' treatise on airs, waters and places, printed by Henricpetri for a learned medical and philosophical readership. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and a tailpiece, showing figures inside framed letters, a naked child in a circle, and a flaming vessel. A designer could draw on their compact, ornamental framing and the contrast of dense black line with white figure.
