Methode excellente et fort familiere pour guarir la peste, et se preserver d'icelle...
A 1608 French plague treatise printed in Grenoble by G. Verdier, written by Guillaume L'Erisse for general readers seeking home remedies. The two pictures are text pages only: dense black-letter type in small roman setting, with one decorated initial letter surrounded by foliage and grotesque figures, which a designer could use as a model for early modern typographic texture and ornamental capitals.
