Bibliothèque des autheurs qui ont escrit l'histoire et topographie de la France : diuisee en deux parties, felon l'ordre des temps & des matieres
A 1627 French bibliography by André Du Chesne, printed in Paris by Sebastien Cramoisy, listing authors who wrote on the history and topography of France for scholars and readers of geography. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a scrolled strapwork frieze, a rectangular panel of a crane or heron beside a town, and a large decorated initial C framed by foliage. A designer could take from them the dense, hand-cut black-and-white vocabulary of acanthus scrolls, leaf borders and framed initials.
