    This decorative initial was used as a drop cap (dropped capital) for the word Christmas starting an 1870 article entitled “Christmas with the Poets”.

    Drop caps bring attention to the start of a new section or chapter, and help people find their way by flipping through the pages of a printed book.

    Print jargon: this initial is foliated and vignetted

    This decorative initial letter J (it’s _inhabited_ because it has a person in it, _historiated_ as it illustrates a scene, and was used as a drop cap, the first line of the title starting between the piper’s feet.

    Probably the rodents running around on the bowl of the J are black rats, by their shape and tails; common in Europe and carried the plague.
