A Latin medical-philosophical treatise on salt by Matthias Untzer, published in 1625 by Michael Oelschlegel, with the decorative initials and ornaments here serving as its typographic furniture. The pictures are printed woodcut initial letters and ornamental headpieces with dense scrolling foliage, a winged cherub, and a stippled background, showing how a designer might build a historical capital or border from carved interlace.
