The image is way too small and low resolution to determine which of 
hundreds of black-letter, uncial, or calligraphic fonts might be 
closest. It looks like a scan of metal-printed copy (at that 
resolution it might even be hand-lettered) and it's likely that there 
is no exact match, but there are definitely some that are close. The 
ornamented initials would be separate from the font in any case. I 
can't even tell what character it is - most likely an 'A', but I'm not 
sure.
