Pantheologia Volume One
A 1474 manuscript-style book, the Pantheologia volume one, whose artwork was produced for a reader in a printed text page with Latin columns, held by the J. Paul Getty Museum. The picture is a large decorated initial S in a rounded orange frame, with a dense ring of gold, green and pink foliage and curling white-edged acanthus-like leaves inside. A designer could take its interlaced vine borders, jewel-like colour pairing of red-orange with green, and the way a single capital letter anchors a block of text.
