A 1679 Dutch history of the Netherlandish wars and civil disturbances, written by Pieter Christiaanszoon Bor (1559-1635) and published in Amsterdam by several booksellers, covering events from Emperor Charles V's transfer of the Low Countries to Philip of Spain onward. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, a large D repeated in several versions with acanthus scrolls and foliage, plus a floral headpiece of flowers and fruit, giving a designer ready examples of historical letterform ornament and border framing.
