Opuscula varia posthuma, philosophica, civilia, et theologica. Nunc primum edita
A 1658 Latin miscellany of posthumous philosophical, civil and theological writings by Francis Bacon, edited by William Rawley and printed in London by R. Daniel for the bookseller Octavian Pulleyn. The pictures are small decorative printer's ornaments: a historiated initial C with a grotesque, an initial F with a bearded head in profile, an initial N set in foliage, and a strip of putti among scrolls. A designer might draw on their dense, woodcut-style scrollwork and framed capitals for borders, drop caps and period display type.
