La versification françoise; ou, l'Art de bien faire et de bien tourner les vers [microforme]

Richelet, Pierre, 1631-1698 · 1671 · Paris : E. Loyson · 18 pictures

A French treatise on verse-making by Pierre Richelet, published in Paris by E. Loyson in 1671, aimed at readers learning to write French poetry. The four pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments, each a symmetrical cluster of acanthus scrolls, flowers and leaves around a central mask or cartouche, the kind of printers' headpieces used to open chapters. A designer could borrow their symmetrical, tightly hatched foliage for decorative borders, headers or vintage ornament panels.
