Historischer Bilder Bibel, vierter Teil, published in 1705 by Johann Ulrich Kraus, a German illustrated Bible of Old Testament books, Psalms, Proverbs and prophets, with the Heidelberg University Library copy. The pictures are engraved plates, each a landscape or ruined architecture scene framed above a verse text and below an ornate baroque cartouche with scrolling acanthus and foliage. A designer might take the symmetrical cartouche frames, the Baroque scrollwork and the dense German verse layout as models for decorative borders.
