Le Progrès de la medecine. Journal singulier pour l'année 1698, où l'oon examine le sentiment de M. Mery, de l'Académie des sciences, sur la circulation du sang dans le foetus par le trou ovulaire
A 1699 French medical periodical published in Paris by Laurent d'Houry, examining an Academy of Sciences member's views on fetal blood circulation through the foramen ovale. Its two pictures are small engraved armorial bookplates: one an ornate ex libris for the Parisian Royal Academy of Surgeons, the other a shield under a crown with scrolling foliage and a cartouche. A designer could draw on their dense, symmetrical scrollwork, heraldic shields and crowns, and compact framed label lettering.
