Danmarckis Rigis Krønicke
Danmarckis Rigis Krønicke is a Danish chronicle of the kingdom of Denmark by Arild Huitfeldt (1546-1609), printed in Copenhagen in 1652 by Joachim Moltke's bookshop for a general readership of Danish readers. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large black capital surrounded by scrolling foliate ornament, with the fourth paired with a smaller ornamental letter; a designer could take from them the dense interlace of curls and the bold contrast of solid black letterforms against open ornament.
