David, poème héroïque
A 1660 heroic poem titled David, poème héroïque by Bernard Lesfargues, printed in Paris by P. Lamy and held by the University of Ottawa, on the subject of King David of Israel. The pictures are repeated decorative headpiece or tailpiece ornaments in a woodcut style, with a central flower on a stem flanked by scrolling acanthus leaves and rosettes inside a bordered band, offering a designer a ready model for symmetrical baroque-era border and ornament work.
