A 1628 Venetian medical treatise by Zaccharias Puteo, printed in Venice by Iosephus de Imbertis, on gums, resins, musk and amber as remedies for asthma, dropsy and gout. The two pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters: a Q enclosing a bearded grotesque face among scrolling foliage, and an H framing a vase or urn with plumes and leaves, both with ornamental acanthus-style scrollwork a designer could borrow for monogram or drop-cap motifs.
