Snorre Sturlessøns Norske kongers chronica
A 1633 Danish printing of Snorri Sturluson's history of Norwegian kings, edited by Ole Worm and translated by Peder Claussøn, printed in Copenhagen for a Danish book dealer. The four pictures are decorative initial letters: two bold black-letter R capitals with curled scrollwork, and two ornate pen-and-ink initials with interlaced loops and flourishes, useful for a designer seeking historical display letterforms and border-like ornament.
