Spiegel, H. L. (Hendrik Laurensz.), 1549-1612, Gunst, Pieter Stevens van, 1659?-1724?, Mulder, Joseph, b. 1659 or 60, Tidemann, Philipp, 1657-1705, Wetstein, Henricus · 1694 · Tot Amsterdam : By Hendrik Wetstein · 31 pictures

This is a 1694 Dutch edition published by Hendrik Wetstein in Amsterdam, gathering moral writings by Hendrik Laurensz. Spiegel, a late sixteenth-century Dutch poet and moralist, with editorial contributions from several later hands. The pictures are four woodcut decorated initials, two large D letters with birds and foliage inside their bowls, a T with a winged creature in its upper arm, and an L filled with ornamental scrollwork and a bird; a designer might borrow their dense interlace, filled letterforms and mixed animal and foliage motifs for display lettering.
