Belle-Forest, François de, 1530-1583 · 1572 · A Paris : Chez Gervais Mallot ... · 4 pictures

A 1572 Paris edition of François de Belle-Forest's universal history and geography, printed by Gervais Mallot, aimed at French readers and covering the world's four continents, customs, and religions. The pictures are mostly printed text fragments in black-letter and roman type with an ornate woodcut title border, plus a microfilm test target and an arrow that are scanning marks; a designer might take the dense typographic texture and decorative headline border as period reference.
