Godeau, Antoine, 1605-1672 · 1649 · Paris : Chez la Veuue Jean Camvsat et Pierre le Petit · 5 pictures

A 1649 Paris prayer and devotional book by Antoine Godeau, published by the widow of Jean Camusat and Pierre le Petit for readers of every kind of station. The pictures are small printed ornaments: a central open book flanked by scrolls above a monogrammed shield, a cherub-like face under foliage, and a symmetrical scrolled cartouche, all in dense woodcut-style line work that a designer could adapt for vignettes, dividers, or heraldic emblems.
