Dissertatio inauguralis, de colore sanguinis vena secta missi florido
A Latin inaugural medical dissertation on the colour of blood drawn from a vein, written by Philipp Friedrich Bilger and printed at Tübingen in 1700, probably for academic examination rather than general readers. The single picture is a long horizontal strip of repeated ornamental scrollwork in dark ink on pale paper, a typographic tailpiece or border that a designer could adapt as a repeating pattern band.
