Plato's collected works, edited by Henri Estienne and translated by Jean de Serres, printed in 1578 in Geneva by Henri Estienne's press for scholars and readers of classical Greek philosophy. The pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters set in framed panels of scrolling foliage, flowers, and grotesque masks, with plain capitals in the centre, which a designer could adapt for ornamental borders and drop caps.
