Discours et advis sur les flus du ventre douloureux, soit qu'il y ait du Sang ou point, sur le trousse-galant dict choleras-morbus...
A 1643 French medical treatise on abdominal flux and cholera morbus, written by Herman Van Der Heyden and printed at Ghent by Servaes Manilius for physicians and readers of seventeenth-century medicine. The four pictures are small printers' ornaments, black cut-out floral and scrolled fleurons set into the running text, with symmetrical four-part arrangements that a designer could borrow for borders, corner pieces, or vintage typographic dividers.
