Valentini Henrici Vogleri ... Physiologia historiae passionis Iesu Christi
A Latin theological treatise on the Passion of Jesus Christ by Valentin Heinrich Vogler, printed at Helmstedt in 1673 by Henricus David Muller for scholarly readers. The first picture is a woodcut of a stylised vessel-like ornament with a wreath, fleur-like scrolls and a stepped base, and the second is a black-letter opening with a decorated initial Q set beside dense roman text. A designer could take from them the pairing of a bold, crude woodcut device with a finely ruled initial and classic book typography.
