Staedel, Joannes Fridericus, active 1694-1695 · 1694 · Argentorati : Literis Staedelianis · 1 picture

A Latin medical treatise on human embryology by Johann Friedrich Staedel, printed at Strasbourg in 1694 for scholars and physicians. The single picture is a text page opening with a large ornamental decorated initial C beside dense black-letter type, so a designer could take from it the strong contrast of a carved historic capital letter set against plain running text.
