H.L. Spieghels Hertspieghel en andere zede-schriften : meest noyt voor dezen gedrukt
This is a 1694 Dutch edition published by Hendrik Wetstein in Amsterdam, gathering moral writings by Hendrik Laurensz. Spiegel, a late sixteenth-century Dutch poet and moralist, with editorial contributions from several later hands. The pictures are four woodcut decorated initials, two large D letters with birds and foliage inside their bowls, a T with a winged creature in its upper arm, and an L filled with ornamental scrollwork and a bird; a designer might borrow their dense interlace, filled letterforms and mixed animal and foliage motifs for display lettering.
