Le chemin frayé et infaillible aux accouchemens, qui servira de flambeau aux sages-femmes, pour les éclairer en leurs operations, cachées dans les plus obscures cavernes de la matrice. Le tout enrichi de diverses figures...
A 1689 French midwifery manual printed at Lille by François Fievet, written as a guide for sages-femmes (midwives) on delivering babies, now held by the Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de santé in Paris. The plates are numbered engravings of the foetus in the womb, each shown in a rounded or framed oval with a hand or pair of hands holding it, drawn in fine line hatching on plain paper pages.
