Aesopi Phrygis Fabulae græce et latinè : cum alijs opusculis, quorum index proxima refertur pagella
A 1544 Greek and Latin edition of Aesop's fables printed in Basel by Johannes Herwagen, drawn from a Boston Public Library copy. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and Greek type blocks: the large letters are framed by foliage, animals and figures, with dense black-and-white line hatching, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance letterforms and ornamental capitals.
