L'Ecole du chirurgien ou les principes de la chirurgie francoise. Tirez de la connoissance du corps humain en toutes ses parties,...
A French surgical treatise of 1684 by Charles Gabriel Le Clerc, printed in Paris by Estienne Michallet for surgeons and students learning anatomy and operative practice. The pictures are small sober engravings and stamped seals: a profile bust in an oval stamp, a repeated blurred portrait roundel, and a heraldic shield with a crown and scrolled foliage, offering a designer ideas for period emblems, oval seal framing and restrained engraved ornament.
