Laurentii Bellini Opuscula aliquot Ad Archibaldum Pitcarnium Professorem Lugduno-Batavum
Laurentii Bellini Opuscula aliquot is a 1695 Latin collection of short medical treatises by the Florentine physician Lorenzo Bellini, addressed to the Leiden professor Archibald Pitcairn and printed in Pistoia. The pictures are four large black letterforms, a D, an I, another D and a Q, cut as decorative initials that stand out sharply against faded text on cream paper, useful to a designer seeking bold historic display capitals or drop-cap ideas.
