Nicandri Theriaca. Eiusdem Alexipharmaca. Interpretatio innominati authoris in Theriaca. Commentarii diversorum authorum in Alexipharmaca. Expositio ponderum, mensurarum, signorum, et characterum
A 1523 Venice edition of Nicander's poems on venoms and antidotes, printed by the Aldine press for scholars and physicians. The pictures are a printer's anchor device, a dolphin wrapped around an anchor with the letters AL and DVS, and a page of dense Greek text with a bold running header. A designer might take from them a compact emblem built on a single vertical axis, and the contrast of a crisp mark against a dense typeset page.
