La pharmacopée, raisonnée
A 1698 Lyon pharmacopoeia by Johann Schröder, expanded by Michael Ettmüller, printed by T. Amaulry for physicians and apothecaries studying medicinal drugs and plants. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a strapwork cartouche with a central medallion, a large decorated initial letter wreathed in leaves, and a tailpiece of fruit heaped in a footed bowl, all in dense black line work a designer could borrow for borders, initials and vignettes.
