1553 · J.M.Lechner · 5 pictures

A 1553 German mining code (Bergwerks-Ordnung) printed by J. M. Lechner, with an added alphabetical index of articles, drawn from a foundry-and-iron library collection. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments and a coat of arms, including a double-headed eagle with a shield, meant for decorating headpieces and title pages. A designer could draw on the scrolled strapwork, the knotted interlace and the heraldic eagle as period decorative motifs for printed matter.
