Oeuvres pharmaceutiques
Oeuvres pharmaceutiques is a 1628 pharmacological treatise by François Ranchin, printed in Lyon by P. Ravaud for physicians and medical readers of seventeenth-century France. The single picture is a letterpress ornament: a central female mask with feathered headdress flanked by two fruit-filled cornucopias with plumes, over scrolled acanthus-like brackets, offering a symmetrical emblem a designer could adapt for headpieces, frames, or heraldic-style panels.
