Grammaire [microforme]
A French-language grammar by Pierre de la Ramée (Petrus Ramus), printed in Paris in 1572 by André Wechel for students of the French tongue. The first picture is a page of running text with a bold header and a quoted sentence in italic type, showing the dense, even texture of sixteenth-century letterpress. The second is a small woodcut ornament of a winged horse above a knotted caduceus-like staff, flanked by scrolls and cloud-like forms, which a designer could adapt as a compact emblem or vignette.
