misc: Dutch

Aesop, 1750 (E1v)

Although it looks as if it would have been printed earlier, this style of Gothic type and simple woodcuts is characteristic of cheap Dutch printing throughout the 18th century.

Dodoens, Cruydt boeck, 1618 (Y4v)

In this Dutch version of Dodoens herbal, the same woodblock from the first edition is again used to illustrate the corn-cockle. It looks smaller here because this edition is formatted as a folio rather than an octavo.
