A 1665 Leiden edition of Celsus's Latin medical treatise De medicina, edited by Johannes Antonides van der Linden and printed by Salomon Wagenaer for scholars and physicians. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials in a striped ground, with the C, V and S framed in ornate foliate capitals, plus a vignette of a labourer in a laurel wreath that a designer could borrow for flourishes, borders or lettrine ideas.
