A 1596 London translation by E. Allde for Bonham Norton of Nicolás Monardes's account of New World medicinal plants, drugs and stones, aimed at physicians and surgeons. Its pictures are small black woodcut ornaments: a repeating foliate strip, a grotesque cartouche with putti, and decorated initial letters set beside black-letter text, useful to a designer for border strips, historic initials and early modern print framing.
