Florus francicus. Sive rerum a Francis bello gestarum epitome.,
Florus francicus is a Latin history of French wars, compiled by Pierre Berthault and printed at Caen in 1669 for scholarly readers. Its pictures are small woodcut floral ornaments, flower sprays and baskets of blossoms in a dense, hatched line style, which a designer could adapt as compact decorative borders, vignettes or pattern motifs.
