A German catalogue of surviving woodblocks cut between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, compiled in 1892 by the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, with impressions printed from the blocks for reference. The pictures are decorative initial letters and ornamental capitals in black, built from interlace, scrolling tendrils, and knotwork, which a designer could draw on for letterforms, border ornament, or historical lettering.
