De bello belgico : the history of the Low-Countrey warres
A 1650 London edition of Famiano Strada's history of the Dutch revolt against Spain, printed for the bookseller Humphrey Moseley, with no illustrations beyond printers' ornaments. The pictures are woodcut initials and decorative headpieces with dense interlace, scrollwork, and foliage, shaded with hatched lines, which a designer could adapt for historical borders, capitals, or ornamental panels.
