Toutes les Oeuvres...trad. par Théophile Gelée
A 1613 French medical book by André Du Laurens, translated by Théophile Gelée and printed in Rouen by Raphael du Petit Val for a learned readership. Its pictures are repeated woodcut decorative initial letters, an L framed by scrolling foliage, with a central plant stem and small figures, useful to a designer looking for a historic ornamental capital with grotesque or foliate framing.
