The Arte of Navigation is a 1589 London navigation manual by Martín Cortés, printed for Richard Watkins, covering the sphere, instruments and sailing rules for mariners. The four pictures are all decorative woodcut initials, with ornate foliate letters in S, E, F and W built from twisting stems, leaves and berries that a designer could borrow for display capitals.
