Discours de la nature, cause, signes et curation des empeschemens de la conception
A 1625 French medical treatise by Louys de Serres, a Lyon physician, printed in Lyon by Antoine Chard and written for women on causes, signs and treatment of conception problems and sterility. The title page pairs a dense black letterpress block with a small engraved figure of a horseman at top and a leafy branch down the right edge, a restrained, text-led layout a designer could borrow for period typography.
