The history of many memorable things lost, which were in use among the ancients : and an account of many excellent things found, now in use among the moderns, both natural and artificial
A 1715 London edition of Guido Pancirolli's history of lost and rediscovered inventions, printed for the trade by John Nicholson and John Morphew. Its pictures are typographic ornaments: a decorative capital band, a repeating foliate border, a historiated initial H with a figure, and a cartouche with a foliage-framed putto, all in dense woodcut and letterpress style useful for period headers, borders, and drop caps.
