Letres de Phyllarque à Ariste, où il est traité de l'éloquence françoise [microforme]

Goulu, Jean, 1576-1629 · 1627 · Paris : N. Buon · 8 pictures

A 1627 French treatise on eloquence by Jean Goulu, published in Paris by N. Buon for a learned readership of the period. The pictures are small printer's ornaments: a row of five symmetrical black cartouches with interlaced floral and scroll patterns, a historiated initial Q framed by leafy foliage with a grotesque face at its centre. A designer might take from them the bold, repeating block rhythm of early modern typographic ornament and its dense, blackletter-era decorative vocabulary.
