Traité des hernies, ou descentes, contenant les causes, signes, accidens, remedes, & un avis aux hernieux, avec la maniere de bien faire & administrer les bandages d'acier & de fil de fer
A 1665 French surgical treatise on hernias by Nicolas Lequin, published in Paris by the author, addressed to physicians and patients with hernias and their trusses. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments, including a cherub between cornucopias, two putti holding laurel and palm, a printed list of names, and a decorated initial M with a portrait medallion, which suggest carved frames, cartouches, and decorative capitals a designer could adapt.
