Haeften, Benedictus van, 1588-1648, Galle, Cornelis, 1576-1650 · 1635 · Antuerpiae : Ex officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti · 115 pictures

A Latin devotional book on the Stations of the Cross by Benedictus van Haeften, with engravings by Cornelis Galle, printed in 1635 at Antwerp by the Plantin press for Catholic readers. Its pictures are small woodcut-style historiated initials, each framing a scene of Christ's Passion inside a large letter, which a designer might take as a model for decorative capitals that hold a narrative.
