Kerckring, Theodor, 1640-1693, author, Frisius, Andreas, -1675, publisher, Blooteling, Abraham, 1640-1690, engraver, Supplement to (work): Kerckring, Theodor, 1640-1693. Osteogeniam foetuum · 1671 · Amstelodami : Sumptibus Andreae Frisii · 5 pictures

A 1671 Amsterdam anatomical treatise by physician Theodor Kerckring, published by Andreas Frisius as a supplement to his work on fetal bone formation, with engravings by Abraham Blooteling. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut-style ornaments: a heraldic cartouche with a fleur-de-lis, a cherub pair under swags of fruit, a winged lion beside a Latin motto, and a decorated initial N beside printed text, useful for designers seeking early printed ornament and border motifs.
