L' histoire du monde de C. Pline second ...
A 1625 French translation of Pliny the Elder's Natural History, edited by Antoine Du Pinet and printed by Jacob Stoer, aimed at a learned readership. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials, with the same ornate C repeated in several framings and a larger ornamented E on a text page, showing scrolled foliage, knotted strapwork and grotesque motifs a designer could borrow for monograms or display lettering.
