A 1679 Dutch history of the Low Countries wars and revolts by Pieter Christiaanszoon Bor, published in Amsterdam by several booksellers and aimed at readers of Dutch history. The pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a large capital in each case set within a frame of scrolling foliage. A designer could take from them the dense acanthus-leaf ornament and the way a strong letterform sits inside a border of curling, interlaced vegetal scrollwork.
