Le berger fidelle : traduit de l'italien de Guarini en vers françois
Le berger fidelle is a 1677 French verse translation of Guarini's Italian pastoral drama, printed under the imprint of Pierre du Marteau and attributed to Amsterdam, with plates by Abraham Blooteling and others. The pictures are a set of decorative woodcut initials and borders in dense black line, plus one engraved pastoral scene of figures in a wooded landscape, which a designer might take as models for ornamental capitals and for framing a narrative vignette within a page.
