File:Album of Printed Initials, Ornaments and Title Pages, cut from Books (24437145243).jpg

This album is of different typographical design, woodcut, engraving, illustration and ornament. This page is of printed initials that have been cut from another page and carefully pasted on a new page. Pencil marks can be seen still as a background grid that provides spacing for the letters. There is no pencil mark for the bottom letters, yet they are all still perfectly aligned. The page is missing the letters U and J in the modern alphabet, most likely to be substituted with I and V when used for printing. Most of the letters are ornamented with flowers or vegetation, but a few have animals including men, a deer and a bird.
