Die Fackel des Prometheus is a 1677 German festival book by Tobias Sadeler, printed in Vienna, describing the fireworks staged for the wedding of Emperor Leopold I and Eleonora Magdalena Theresia before the Burg gate. The four pictures are decorative woodcut borders, strapwork bands, and a large ornamental initial letter with flourishing scrollwork, showing dense interlaced patterns a designer could draw on for frames, dividers, and drop caps.
