Les operations de chirurgie par une methode courte & fidele avec deux traitez...
A surgical manual in French by Jean-Baptiste Verduc, printed in Paris in 1688 by Laurent d'Houry for practising surgeons and students. The single picture is a bookplate: an engraved heraldic cartouche with a crown, scrolling acanthus leaves and a ribbon label reading 'Ex Bibl. Regiae Chirurgorum Parisiensium Academ.', offering a designer a dense, symmetrical ornament model for crests and seals.
