Bibliographie instructive
Bibliographie instructive is a bibliographic reference work by Guillaume François de Bure, printed in 1765 and held by Heidelberg University Library, catalogued under the Cicognara bibliography collection. The single picture is a small printed ornament, a floral head- or tailpiece of the eighteenth-century book trade. It shows a spray of stylised flowers and feathery acanthus-like leaves in dark ink on cream paper, a compact decorative motif a designer could adapt for vignettes, borders or botanical-style flourishes.
