The practice of physick. In twenty and four books ...
A 1663 London medical treatise by the French physician Lazare Rivière, printed by P. and E. Cole, drawn from the Wellcome Library's holdings. The single picture is a printer's or owner's device: a heraldic shield with a rampant bull, studded with roundels and framed by a heavy black border. A designer could take from it a bold, simple silhouette-in-shield form suited to emblems, crests, or monogram marks.
