This Fraktur-style capital S was used as a decorated initial, or drop cap, at the start of a chapter. A large initial can help the reader find the start of the text quickly, and also can help to indicate hierarchy.

This blackletter capital S is decorated with vine leaves and has some shading.

There is also a coloured version.
