Brabbelingh
Brabbelingh is a 1669 Amsterdam printed book by Roemer Visscher and Hendrik Laurensz. Spiegel, published by Johannes van Ravesteyn for a Dutch reading public. Its pictures are small black printer's ornaments: symmetrical scrolled cartouches with acanthus-like leaves, rosettes and a central oval, and a woodcut floral finial with striped shading, offering designers ready-made baroque and early modern decorative units for borders and headpieces.
