This historic initial letter was designed by the German printer Erhardt Ratdolt to be used in a liturgical Brevary. Ratdolt spent some time in Venice but returned to Germany upon the invitation of the Bisohop to set up a press there.
Each letter is beautifully presented in a solid wood gold frame and a generous 6 ply mat with a hand-painted gold beveled edge. There is a hook for wall hanging or an optional brass easel stand for desk and tabletop display. Attached to the back is a story card describing the history behind the letter.
