Les secrets et merveilles de nature, recueillis de divers autheurs, & divisez en dix-sept livres, par Jean-Jacques Wecker..., traduit en françois selon la correction latine, reveus, & corrigez de nouveau
Les secrets et merveilles de nature is a 1627 French medical and natural-secrets compendium by Jean-Jacques Wecker, printed in Lyon by Claude Rigaud and Claude Aubert for French readers. The pictures are small printer's ornaments and letterforms: a foliate woodcut initial with scrolls and a grotesque figure, a lettered diagram with a curved hook labelled g, k and l, and an engraved title page with a cartouche, a central oval figure and a motto plate. A designer might take the scrolled initial, the arabesque frame and the decorative title-page border as period ornament models.
