Veldener, Jan, fl. 1473-1485, Boxhorn, Marcus Zuerius, 1612-1653 · 1650 · Leyden : W. van Riinnenbvrch · 4 pictures

Chronyck van Hollandt, Zeelandt, ende Westvrieslandt is a Dutch chronicle of the counties of Holland, Zeeland and West Friesland, issued at Leiden in 1650 and attributed to Marcus Zuerius Boxhorn, working from an earlier text by Jan Veldener. The four pictures are decorative printed initials and ornamental headpieces, with dense scrollwork, acanthus-like foliage and a wreath enclosing a horse and fruit. A designer could take from them the interlaced ornament and capital-letter framing typical of seventeenth-century Dutch printing.
