Wecker, Johann Jacob, 1528-1586 · 1604 · Basileae : Typis Conradi Waldkirchii, sumptibus episcopianorum · 2 pictures

A 1604 Latin compendium of secrets, recipes and natural philosophy compiled by Johann Jacob Wecker and printed in Basel by Conrad Waldkirch for the Episcopius heirs, aimed at physicians and curious readers. Its two pictures are small printed ornaments: a symmetrical scrolled cartouche with fleurs-de-lis and a plain half-disc label holding a single letter N, useful to designers wanting period tailpieces, dividers or lettered frames.
