Adriani Spigelii Bruxellensis
A 1645 medical and anatomical treatise by Adriaan van den Spiegel of Brussels, published in Amsterdam by Joannes Blaeu for physicians and students. Its four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a T, I, L and E, each framed by dense scrollwork, leafy tendrils and cross-hatched cartouches that a designer could draw on for historical ornament, letterforms and border patterns.
