Anatomia sambuci, quae non solùm sambucum et hujusdem medicamenta singulatim delineat, verùm quoque plurimorum affectuum, ex una ferè solâ sambuco curationes breves, rationibus, exemplis, historiis & medicamentis specificis non paucis illustratas simul exhibet
A 1650 London Latin treatise on the elder tree by Martin Blochwitz, printed by John Field for Octavian Pulleyn, offering remedies and cures drawn from the sambucus plant. Both pictures are small black-and-white text pages, each opening with a decorative woodcut initial Q framed by scrolling foliage, flowers and a vase, with dense Latin type beside it; a designer might draw on the ornamental initial's flourishing leaf-and-blossom border for period headpieces.
