Illustrium Hollandiae & VVestfrisiae ordinum alma Academia Leidensis
A 1614 Latin history of the Leiden University professors and scholars, published in Leiden by Iacobus Marci and Iustus à Colster, with portrait-like engravings made from life drawings by Willem Swanenburg. Its pictures are mostly decorated initial letters framed in dense, intricate woodcut-style scrollwork, showing how historical printers built ornate capitals from foliage, curls and interlaced strapwork that a designer could adapt for display lettering or borders.
