A decorated letter V for a dropped capital, formally an inhabited initial, from an 1884 book about Vltava in Bohemia (Czechia). The V has a mermaid in it, & fishes & an eel swim about her. She’s naked (do mermaids wear clothes?).
Decorated initials are used in print at the start of a chapter, or at the start of a section without a title so you can find it easily.
