Les charactères des passions. Volume 4 / par le Sieur de La Chambre, conseiller du roi en ses conseils, & son premier médecin ordinaire
Les charactères des passions, volume 4, by Marin Cureau de La Chambre, physician to Louis XIII, published in Paris in 1662 by Jacques d'Allin for a learned readership interested in the medical study of the passions. The two pictures are black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a dense floral urn with scrolled supports at the top, and a historiated initial T framed in patterned borders, showing a robed figure with a cross-marked shield beside a kneeling supplicant and an altar scene, useful for designers working with decorative capitals and border strips.
