Raynaud, Théophile, 1583-1663, Hooghe, Romeyn de, 1645-1708, Galle, Cornelis, 1576-1650 · 1672 · Amstelodami : Sumptibus Andreae Frisii · 36 pictures

A 1672 Latin treatise on headgear, sacred and profane, published in Amsterdam by Andreas Frisius and written by the Jesuit Théophile Raynaud, with its scholarly readers in mind. Its pictures are small engraved portraits in roundels and full-length figures of men and women in period hats, hoods and turbans, and a designer could take from them a catalogue of historical headwear shapes and the compact oval or circular framing of each portrait.
