A 1681 Spanish printing of Famiano Strada's history of the Dutch revolt and the wars in Flanders under Alessandro Farnese, issued in Cologne and held by the Getty Research Institute. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large capital set inside a dense frame of scrolling foliage, knotted ribbon, and dotted bosses, showing how a printed capital can be built from ornament and contrast of solid and hatched line.
