Ortus morborum e fermento ventriculi in eorum ultionem ad vitam sanam ...
A Latin medical treatise by Caspar Heinrich Schrey, printed at Altdorf in 1678 by Johann Heinrich Schönnerstaedt, aimed at physicians and readers seeking healthful living. The single picture is a decorative printer's ornament: a fruit-like central medallion with grape-like clusters flanked by scrolling acanthus-style foliage, drawn in fine black line on a plain page. A designer could take from it a compact symmetrical cartouche motif suited to headers, dividers, or vintage label borders.
