Novus ductus chyliferus. Nunc primum delineatus, descriptus et eruditorum examini expositus ...
A Latin anatomical treatise on the chyle-bearing ducts by Johannes van Horne, printed at Leiden in 1652 by Franciscus Hackius, held by the Wellcome Library. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a printer's ornament, with foliate scrollwork, grotesque masks, flowers, birds and dotted rosettes in dense black-and-white line, useful to a designer for historic capitals, ornamental frames and early modern printed ornament.
