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.

It’s all very French, an “inhabited initial” by François Emile Ehrmann with a topless woman, i think in a gillotage, a resin-based etching, made by Yves & Barret based on an engraving by Tilly. A team effort! The model who sat for the picture is not named.
Yesterday i posted the crescent moon here.
Etchings tend to feature blunter line-endings than engravings on metal.

Decorative Drop Caps, Day 26. The letter ‘Z’ with a Zedoary plants, also known as White Turmeric, or Temu Putih.
That’s a full alphabet of drop capitals or drop initials! I have other ideas, but that’s all I’m going to do for now on this set. It was a fun!
I may do move this little drawing challenge to February as the days line up closer to the standard 26 character count. Dropcapruary? Februcaps? Name suggestions welcome!
