Reverendissimi patris Fr. Francisci de Macedo ... Carmina selecta
A 1683 Latin collection of selected verse by Francisco de Macedo, printed in Lisbon by Michael Deslandes, with a later association by the Duke of Palmella. The pictures are small decorative woodcut initials and a framed ornament, each a letter or device surrounded by leafy foliage, scrolls and flowers. A designer might take from them the dense, hand-cut ornamental frame of leaves around a capital letter, useful for monogram or border work.
