Problème sur la nature, préservation et cure de la maladie pestilentielle
A 1607 French medical treatise on plague, written by Nicolas Habicot and published in Paris by Jean Houzé, addressed to physicians and the general reader concerned with pestilence. The pictures are small printed ornaments, black scrollwork and foliate cartouches set into the text, with curling tendrils and symmetrical lattice patterns that a designer could adapt for borders, dividers, or early modern decorative motifs.
