Rayger, Károly, 1675-1731 · 1698 · [Altdorffii] : [Cattitero Henrici Meyeri] · 2 pictures

A Latin medical dissertation by Károly Rayger, printed in 1698 at Altdorf for presentation as an inaugural academic thesis. Its two pictures are typographic ornaments: a woodcut strip of acanthus scrolls around a pine-cone motif, and a decorated initial H with flowers and an urn set beside printed text. Designers can draw on these period head-pieces and initials for classical border and capital-letter work.
