Catalogus plantarum Angliæ, et insularum adjacentium: tum indigenas, tum in agris passim cultas complectens. In quo præter synonyma necessaria, facultates quoque summatim traduntur, unà cum observationibus & experimentis novis medicis & physics
A 1677 Latin botanical catalogue of the plants of England and nearby islands, compiled by naturalist John Ray and printed in London for a learned audience of physicians and botanists. The picture is a decorated woodcut initial A with interlaced foliate scrollwork set beside a column of small roman type, showing how a dense ornamental capital anchors a text block.
