Cinna; ou, La clemence d'Auguste, tragédie
Cinna; ou, La clemence d'Auguste is a 1646 Paris tragedy by Pierre Corneille, printed by Quinet for a French reading public of the period. The pictures are woodcut ornaments: a grotesque frieze of winged creatures and scrolling foliage, a large decorated initial L with leafy stems and a flower, and a central mask-like face flanked by serpents and eagle-headed figures, all useful for historical borders, initials and pattern work.
