L'amour medecin. Comedie
A late seventeenth-century printed play by Molière, published in Paris around 1700 and probably for a general reading audience. Three of its four pictures are small woodcut ornaments of foliage, a fruit swag and a flower basket, while the last is an engraved frontispiece of men in cloaks and hats in a hall; a designer could take from them the compact decorative vocabulary of early modern print headpieces and tailpieces.
