De la faculté & vertu admirable de l'antimoine, avec responce à certaines calomnies : le tout composé par maistre Loys de Launay medecin ordinaire de La Rochelle
A 1564 medical treatise on antimony by Louis de Launay, physician of La Rochelle, printed there by Barthélemy Berton for a learned readership of physicians and apothecaries. The single picture is a small oval woodcut emblem with a winged figure carrying a bag and walking past a cloud and a distant town, framed by a French motto that reads as a warning that poverty keeps the mind from rising. A designer might borrow its compact oval framing, the lettering set around a curved border, and the allegorical figure with wings and a bundle as a model for a motto badge.
