Instruction pour les jardins fruitiers et potagers : avec un traité des orangers, suivy de quelques réflexions sur l'agriculture
A 1690 Paris gardening manual by Jean de La Quintinie, the royal gardener at Versailles, on fruit and kitchen gardens with a treatise on orange trees, printed for general readers and gardeners. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a figure carrying a basket of fruit and flowers, cherub pairs with swags of fruit, and a flower-filled urn with scrolls, which a designer could borrow as compact decorative border or cartouche motifs.
