Dissertatio physico-mathematica de fluiditate coelorum
A Latin academic dissertation on the fluidity of the heavens, written by Johann Georg Hocheisen and printed in Ulm in 1697 by E. Kühn, a text on astronomy meant for scholars. Its one picture is a woodcut printer's ornament, a symmetrical cartouche of scrolling acanthus-like foliage with a central fruit cluster and a small pendant below, which a designer could take as a model for dense, balanced decorative framing in early modern typography.
