Le médecin d'armée
A French medical treatise, Le médecin d'armée, written by Rémy-Fort and published in Paris in 1681 by René Guignard for military surgeons and physicians. The one picture is a printed page showing a Baroque ornamental cartouche with scrolling foliage beside an oval stamped bust of Hippocrates in profile, with a Greek inscription. A designer could draw on the scrolling cartouche for ornamental border or frame work, and on the profile medallion for classical portrait motifs.
