Traité de l'orthographe [microforme]
A 1669 French treatise on spelling by Mauconduit, printed in Paris by J. Talon for readers of the French language, preserved here as a microfilm record from the University of Ottawa. The only picture is a long, narrow decorative tailpiece of a carved frieze, with a central grotesque mask flanked by curling foliage, scrolls, and what look like beasts, rendered in dense black-and-white relief that a designer could borrow for a horizontal border or divider.
