EXAMPLE 424
Illustration placed in center, necessitating running around

EXAMPLE 425
Feature page of a Christmas number

When an illustration appears on a text page, initial letters should be plain and small, as in Example [414]; but when no illustration appears the initial can be large, as in Example [411], or even decorative. For regular purposes initials as used on Examples [409] and [425] are inadvisable.

EXAMPLE 426
Convention feature page of a technical journal

Pleasing use of a vignette style of illustration is to be seen in Example [430]. It lends interest to the first text page and at the same time illustrates the leading article.

The illustration in Example [429] is also effectively placed.
