A 1689 French medical pamphlet printed in Paris by bookseller Martin Jouvenel, promoting cinchona bark (quinine) as a fever remedy for patients of all ages and temperaments, attributed to the English physician Robert Talbor. The two pictures are decorative: an ornamental initial-style monogram with scrolling acanthus leaves, and a heraldic coat of arms with a helmet, crest, and motto banner reading Gaudeo. A designer could draw on these for scrollwork, monogram framing, and armorial panels.
