Disputatio inauguralis medica de angina
A Latin medical dissertation on quinsy (angina) by Simon Andreas Becker, printed at Jena in 1678 by Samuel Krebs for an academic audience of physicians and students. The picture is a small decorative initial letter Q with a foliate border enclosing a grotesque bearded face, set beside lines of dense black-letter text in a 17th-century printing style, useful to a designer looking for early modern ornamental capitals and dropped-letter framing.
