Mercurii botanici pars altera sive plantarum gratia suscepti itineris in Cambriam sive Walliam descriptio, exhibens reliquarum stirpium nostratium (quae in priore parte non enumerabantur) catalogum

Johnson, Thomas, -1644 · 1641 · Londini · 2 pictures

A 1641 Latin botanical account by Thomas Johnson, published in London, recording a plant-collecting journey through Wales for botanists and scholars. The two pictures are decorative printer's material: a square initial P framed by a ring of knotted cartouche ornament beside a line of italic Latin text, and a long horizontal band of dense scrolling foliage with rosettes and interlaced tendrils, useful for borders and dividers in period-style layouts.
