Les Oeuvres d’Ambroise Paré, conseiller et premier chirurgien du roy, divisées en vingt-sept livres : avec les figures et portraicts tant de l’Anatomie que des instruments de chirurgie et de plusieurs monstres : reveuz et augmentez par l’autheur pour la seconde Edition, Paris,
Ambroise Paré's 1579 Paris edition of his collected surgical works, printed by Gabriel Buon for a French-reading audience of surgeons and physicians. The pictures are sixteenth-century woodcut engravings of surgical instruments, a bent hollow tube with a coiled end, and a clawed limb, drawn in crisp black outline with hatched shading and lettered reference marks. A designer might take their clean line-work, engraved hatching, and the orderly plate layout with lettered call-outs.
