[Siebender bis zehender Theil.]

46 pictures

A German early modern printed book, its title given only as a volume division, held in a private collection, with pictures that appear to come from a printed text in black letter type. The pictures are woodcut ornaments: a symmetrical grotesque mask with scrolls and a large decorated initial letter with interlaced foliage beside lines of gothic type. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut linework of Renaissance woodcut borders, initials and cartouches, useful for period-style headers, drop caps and frames.
