1840. Gutenbergs-Album
An 1840 German album published in Braunschweig by J. H. Meyer, compiled by Heinrich Meyer, celebrating Johann Gutenberg and the history of printing, likely for a general German reading public. Its pictures are decorative initial letters and vignettes built from twining morning glory and ivy vines, with a seated figure and a small landscape, showing how ornamental capitals can be framed by foliage.
