Las transformaciones de Ouidio
A 1589 Spanish edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses, printed in Valladolid by D. Fernandez de Cordoua and held at the University of Toronto's Fisher library. The pictures are repeated woodcut fleur-de-lis style ornaments in black on aged cream paper, each a stylised lily with curling scrolls and cross-hatched petals. A designer could take from them the symmetrical tracery of 16th-century printers' ornaments and their hatched, carved line quality.
