Le Vieil, Jean, Morel, Fédéric, 1523-1583, printer · 1560 · Parisiis : Apud Federicum Morellum, in uico Bellouaco, ad vrbanam Morum · 22 pictures

A 1560 Paris medical oration collection printed by Frédéric Morel for candidates receiving the medical laurel, its pages opening with woodcut initials. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials: two repeated Q's built from a circular frame, foliage and a central flower, followed by E and P letters wrapped in scrolling acanthus leaves, grotesque faces and tendrils, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance letterforms and ornamental borders.
