PAGE OR COLUMN HEADING & INITIAL

Fig. 92 represents the first page of a book or
chapter in two columns, beginning with a rather
ornate Heading, in which the Initial is made the
principal feature, and having coloured Versals and
line-finishings throughout the text.

It is more difficult to get a good effect in this way
than by means of a marked colour contrast (see p.
110), or variegated, colour, and gold (see Note 7).

Note (i).—The lines bounding the text would
naturally be indented, or pale (not black as in the
block), and ruled from head to foot of the page (see
Note (2) on the next figure).

(2) The red ornamental line-finishings (see p.
171) would be more effective if variegated.

(3) The Versals in the text are made about a line
high, but are dropped below the line (p. 88).

(4) The Versals in the Heading are made one
line high, with one-line spacing—between О and D
increased to two lines (partly filled by a flourish
from the D), in order to fit the U, O, and D in
evenly beside the Initial.

(5) The Initial О should project slightly up and
out—beyond the bounding lines—to mark the top,
left corner more strongly (see footnote, p. 177).

(6) All the rubricating on this page is done with
the same pen (see pp. 171, 184).

(7) Other Colour Schemes. “QUOD FUIT
AB INITO,” the filigree ornament and the V V
in burnished gold (or the Q and VV in gold), the
rest of the Versals and line-finishings in Red and
Blue, or Red and Green, or Red, Blue, and Green
(see pp. 147, 151).
