A 1536 French surgical treatise printed in Lyon by Thibault Payen for G. Rose, written by the Grenoble physician Guillaume Dupuis to teach physicians, surgeons and barbers how to perform bloodletting on every vein of the body. The pictures are plain black-letter pages whose large decorated initial letters carry sprigs of leafy foliage and flowers in a woodcut style. A designer could borrow the framed, floral capital letters and the dense, even texture of the printed columns for historical typography and border work.
