Bernardini Telesii Consentini Varii de naturalibus rebus libelli
Telesio's Varii de naturalibus rebus, a 1590 natural philosophy treatise edited by Antonio Persio and printed in Venice by Felice Valgrisi for scholars of nature. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, a Q with a figure inside an ornate frame, and a C with a face among foliage, all in the black-line style of 16th-century Venetian printing, useful for designers seeking historic framed capital letters and foliate border ornament.
