Les hommes illustres qui ont paru en France pendant ce siecle : avec leurs portraits au naturel
A 1696 Paris volume by Charles Perrault with engraved portraits by Edelinck, Lubin and van Schuppen, published by A. Dezallier for a French readership, gathering likenesses of notable Frenchmen of the century. The pictures shown are decorative woodcut initial letters, a C, an O and a J, each set in a square frame of foliage and interlace; a designer could take from them the模 of compact framed capitals built from leaves, flowers and geometric borders.
