Causeries d'un curieux : variétés d'histoire et d'art tirées d'un cabinet d'autographes et de dessins
A nineteenth-century French art and history miscellany by Félix Feuillet de Conches, published in Paris by H. Plon in 1862, drawn from a private collection of autographs and drawings. The one picture is a decorative ornamental device, a tailpiece or bookplate-style emblem with the initials H and P flanked by cornucopias and scrolls. A designer might take from it the symmetrical scrollwork, cornucopia motifs and medallion portraits as a model for classical monogram or crest layouts.
