Decorated letters (coming soon!)


All of the following woodcut initials were produced by an unknown artist. They appear in an early printed edition of Expositio in omnes beati Pauli Epistolas, published in Paris in 1499 by Ulrich Gering and Berthold Rembolt. The work is a late-antique compilation from the writings of Augustine. The images shown here are in a copy held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. They are in the public domain. I lightly edited them for use on various products. This included eliminating the bleed-through from the reverse of the page, some minor clean-up, and contrast adjustment. I also flipped the S horizontally to match modern usage.
