Zee-politie der Vereenigde Nederlanden, ende in twee boecken beschreven
A 1670 Dutch treatise on the naval and merchant marine of the United Provinces, written by Johan Tjassens and printed at The Hague by J. Veely, J. Tongerloo and J. Doll for maritime readers. The four pictures are decorated woodcut initial letters: a large N with acanthus scrollwork, and historiated initials D and A showing biblical scenes with inscribed Latin captions. A designer could draw on the dense, leafy border ornament and the framed narrative vignettes inside printed capitals.
