Tomus primus.
A Latin-titled volume (Tomus primus, meaning first volume) from the Jung library, its record gives no author, date or place. Its pictures show the same decorative woodcut headpiece repeated across the pages: a central female bust flanked by two winged or seated putti holding fruit and leaves, set in scrolled cartouches with grotesque masks at the corners. A designer could take from it a symmetrical Renaissance ornament framework for a title panel, border or emblem.
