Description de l'Abbaye de La Trappe

Félibien, André, sieur des Avaux de Javercy, 1619-1695 · 1677 · Paris : F. Leonard · 3 pictures

A 1677 Paris printed description of the La Trappe abbey by André Félibien, a French writer and historian, issued by publisher F. Léonard for a learned and devout readership. The three pictures are small typographic ornaments: a symmetrical scrolled cartouche, a leafy foliate border with a grotesque face, and a square monogram plate with a letter M inside a ring of foliage, useful as models for period headpieces, frames and initials.
