Dissertatio inauguralis medica, de abortu ...
A Latin medical dissertation on abortion, written by Bernhard Albinus and printed at Frankfurt an der Oder in 1697 as a university inaugural thesis. Its two pictures are small printer's ornaments: a symmetrical cartouche of fruit and scrollwork at the top of a page and a looping knotwork tailpiece below. A designer could borrow the cartouche's balanced foliate framing or the interlaced knot for dividers, borders, and vignettes in historical style.
