Stirpium illustrationes is a 1655 Latin botanical work by Matthias de L'Obel, edited by William Howe and printed in London by Thomas Warren for the bookseller Joseph Kirton, aimed at scholars and physicians. The only picture is a letterpress title page set in roman capitals with a mix of spaced caps and bold display lettering, so a designer might borrow its centred stacked hierarchy and generous tracking for a classical, authoritative masthead.
