L'Art de bien prononcer et de bien parler la langue françoise [microforme]
A French-language grammar on pronunciation and speech, written by Jean Hindret and published in Paris by L. D'Houry in 1687, aimed at readers learning to speak French correctly. The pictures are ornamental printers' devices: a black floral headpiece, a flower-filled urn, a decorated initial letter, and a foliage tailpiece, all heavy, high-contrast woodcut-style shapes that suggest bold decorative borders and dropped capitals.
