Chronica
Chronica is a 1532 world history printed at Wittenberg by Georg Rhaw, associated with Johannes Carion and the Cranach circle, for German-speaking scholarly readers. The pictures are four small woodcut initial D letters, each framing a half-length figure with a curling acanthus-style leaf border, showing how a single decorated capital can carry a Renaissance ornamental vocabulary a designer could adapt for display type.
