Luther's Catechism, translated into the American-Virginian (Delaware) language by Johan Campanius Holm, printed in Stockholm in 1696 for Lutheran instruction of Delaware-region readers. The pictures are small printer's ornaments: a decorated initial letter with interlaced curls, and horizontal bands of scrolling acanthus leaves and flowers in woodcut or engraved line, which a designer could adapt for chapter openers, dividers, or initials.
