Introduction à l'histoire. : Des principaux etats, tels qu'ils sont aujourd'hui dans l'Europe.
Introduction à l'histoire, a 1685 French history of the principal European states by Samuel Pufendorf, translated by Claude Rouxel and printed at Utrecht by Jean Ribbius. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut tailpieces and a heraldic arms device, with a flower basket in two versions and a shield bearing a chevron and a crest. A designer might take from them the compact, repeated woodcut vignette style of early printed books, with its hatched shading and simple outlines.
