Examen des principes des alchymistes sur la pierre philosophale
A 1711 Paris alchemy treatise by François Pousse, examining the philosopher's stone, published by Daniel Jollet and Barthelemy Girin for a learned readership. Its two pictures are small horizontal printer's ornaments: a central urn of flowers framed by scrolling foliage, and a long band of interlaced acanthus scrolls and rosettes, useful for designers seeking early European border and cartouche patterns.
