Les oeuvres de Ciceron de la traduction de Monsieur Du Ryer
A 1670 Paris printing of Cicero's works in Pierre Du Ryer's French translation, published by a Palais booksellers' association under royal privilege and held by the Boston Public Library, with a former owner note for John Adams. The pictures are small printed ornaments: a foliate strip, two leafy woodcut initial letters with a decorative E, and a flower-filled urn, all in a dense black-line woodcut style a designer could borrow for borders, initials, and vignettes.
