A chronological abridgement of French history by François Eudes de Mézeray, printed in Paris in 1676 by Louis Billaine and owned by John Adams, for readers of French history. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: decorative initial letters framed in foliate borders, one set in a diamond frame, and a grotesque mask surrounded by scrolling acanthus, useful for designers seeking historical ornament and letterform framing.
