Le vrag et parfait guidon de la langue francoise [microforme]
A 1669 French language grammar by Nathanael Duez, printed in Amsterdam by D. Elzevier, aimed at readers learning French. The pictures are printer's ornaments: black, densely cut headpieces and tailpieces with scrolls, foliage and a central flower, plus a small roundel and a woodcut of a figure beneath a tree. A designer could draw on their dense curling scrollwork and symmetrical border structure for period-style ornament.
