Disputatio medica inauguralis de medicamentis specificis, eorumque agendi modo ...
A Latin medical dissertation by Johann Christoph Klimm, printed in Halle in 1694 for academic examination on specific medicines and their mode of action. Its one picture is a small woodcut headpiece of a rocky crag with a diagonal band cut across a dark ground, set above dense Latin type with Greek words. A designer could take from it the compact, tightly ruled look of early modern academic printing and the way a small engraved emblem sits within text.
