Almahide, ou, L'esclave reine : dédiée à Mademoiselle
A 1663 Paris printing of Madeleine de Scudéry's French romance Almahide, published by A. Courbé and dedicated to a Mademoiselle, held by the University of Ottawa. The four pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a headpiece, with the first two showing a large letter framed by interlaced foliage and the third a central cherub-like face between swags and tassels, all crisp black line on a pale ground that suits borders, dropped capitals and vintage ornament systems.
