Exercitatio anatomica de monstro humano nupero ...
A 1684 Latin anatomical treatise by Karl Philipp Lombard, printed at Marburg by Johann Heinrich Stock for a learned medical readership. The picture is a large decorated initial P with grotesque foliage and a figure in its bowl, set beside dense black-letter Latin text in a two-column layout. A designer might take the ornamental capital and the tight, dark letterpress texture as models for display lettering and historical borders.
