Discours de l’origine, des mœurs, fraudes et impostures des Ciarlatans, avec leur decouverte, dédié à Tabarin...
A 1622 French medical treatise by Jean de Gorris, printed in Paris by Denys Langlois, dedicated to the street mountebank Tabarin and exposing the frauds of charlatans. The two pictures are small woodcut and engraved ornaments: a decorated initial C with foliage scrollwork, and a Hippocratic medical school seal showing a bearded profile beside a bird on a nest of foliage, a design a designer might borrow for emblematic borders, seals and printer's ornament.
