Instructions chrétiennes pour les jeunes gens : utiles à toutes sortes de personnes, mêlées de plusieurs traits d'histoires, & d'exemples édifians
A French devotional instruction book for young people, published in 1753 by de Boffe and aimed at readers of all kinds, mixing moral teaching with historical anecdotes and edifying examples. Its woodcut ornaments are repeated fruit-and-flower urns and floral sprays, cut in a crisp black line on pale paper, that a designer could borrow for vignettes, tailpieces or botanical borders in period-style layouts.
