Essay des merueilles de nature, et des plus nobles artifices : piece tres-necessaire à tous ceux qui font profession d'eloquence
A 1622 French book printed in Rouen by Jean Osmont, written by Etienne Binet on the wonders of nature and the finest crafts, aimed at those who practise eloquence. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a foliate initial letter, a repeating strapwork border, a blank cartouche frame, and a historiated initial with a grotesque figure, useful for period-appropriate decorative borders, initials and frame designs.
