La feste d'Erbavd du 8. octobre 1668

Pellisson-Fontanier, Paul, 1624-1693 · 1668 · [Paris : s.n.] · 1 picture

A 1668 Paris printed account by Paul Pellisson-Fontanier of a festival held for Louis XIV, the text printed on a page with an ornamental strip. The picture is a horizontal band of scrolling foliate ornament with acanthus-like leaves and curls, a decorative tailpiece rather than a scene. A designer could draw on its flowing C-scroll rhythm and dense leaf forms for borders, dividers, or baroque-style frames.
