Nouveau dictionnaire françois : contenant généralement tous les mots, les matières, et plusieurs nouvelles remarques sur la langue françoise
A French-language dictionary compiled by Pierre Richelet and published in Cologne in 1694, aimed at French speakers wanting a full general vocabulary of their language. The single picture is a part-title page ornament: an interlaced monogram in an oval wreath of laurel leaves, with the words SECONDE PARTIE above and a handwritten signature at upper right. A designer might take from it the classic seventeenth-century French habit of framing a cipher within a laurel oval, useful for monogram or emblem work.
