Traité complet de la navigation ...
A French treatise on navigation by Jean Bouguer, published in 1706 by Heuqueville, held by the ETH-Bibliothek. Its pictures are small woodcut printers' ornaments: a scrolled cartouche framing a flower-filled urn, and a fruit-and-foliage device with grapes, apples and leafy stems, repeated across the pages. A designer could take from them the decorative vocabulary of early eighteenth-century printers' ornaments for borders, dividers and headpieces.
