Chronica regnorum aquilonarium is a 1548 Latin chronicle of the northern kingdoms of Denmark, Sweden and Norway, written by Albert Krantz and printed at Strasbourg by Johannes Schott for scholarly readers. Its pictures are pages of dense black-letter text opening with large historiated initials, decorated capitals with figures and foliage, which a designer could use for ornamental drop caps and early printed page layout.
