Cabrol, Barthélemy, b. 1529 · 1594 · Tovrnon, C. Michel, & G. Linocier · 8 pictures

Barthélemy Cabrol's 1594 anatomy alphabet, printed at Tournon by C. Michel and G. Linocier, sets out the human body's parts in tables following the usual order of dissection. Its pictures are woodcut historiated initials and ornamental borders, with a figure riding a beast and a grotesque face in strapwork. A designer might take from them the dense, decorative capitals and border bands of sixteenth-century French printing.
