Les gymnopodes ou de la nudité des pieds, disputée de part & d'autre...
A 1624 Paris work in French by Sebastien Rouillard, published by A l'Olivier, a learned medical-literary treatise on bare feet written for scholarly readers. The pictures are small letterpress decorations: a historiated initial with Latin verse set in italic and roman capitals, and a repeated woodcut ornament of two seated female figures flanking a central urn or vessel with foliage and scrolls, useful for a designer seeking early modern printer's ornament and emblematic headpieces.
