De impedimentis magnorum auxiliorum in morborum curatione. Lib. III
A medical treatise in Latin on hindrances to major remedies in treating diseases, written by Antonio Ponce de Santa Cruz, printed in Padua in 1652 by Pauli Frambotti for a scholarly medical readership. The single picture is a printer's ornament: a symmetrical, heart-shaped arrangement of dense scrolls, volutes, and dotted rosettes in dark ink on cream paper, useful to a designer seeking historic decorative border or headpiece motifs with strong symmetry and a woodcut or letterpress texture.
