An initial used for a drop cap (drop capital, or decorative initial) in this 1880 book. The initial is a letter “T” and has two dragons in it. It is signed with a monogram LFD, presumably for Lewis F. Day, the author of the article.

I also made a version without the border so you can more easily use it in print or on a Web page.
