The elements of architecture
The Elements of Architecture is a treatise on building by Sir Henry Wotton (1568-1639), reissued in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1897 by a local publisher for a general audience of readers interested in architecture. Its two pictures are small typographic ornaments: a "FINIS" closing line framed by fleur-like florid borders, and a large decorated initial I built from hatched, scrolling foliage. A designer could take from them the idea of a tightly patterned border band and a hatched, engraved initial letter for display type or page framing.
