Traité de l'esprit de l'homme, et de ses fonctions
A 1649 French treatise on the human mind and its functions by Chanet, printed in Paris by Augustin Courbe for a medical readership, as the subject tag suggests. Its pictures are small, crisp woodcut ornaments: a grotesque mask within a scrolled cartouche, a decorated initial M in a bordered square, and a fruit basket beside a Hippocrates portrait stamp, offering a designer compact seventeenth-century décor motifs for borders, initials and printer's marks.
