Les Oeuvres morales et meslees
A 1574 Paris edition printed by Vascosan of Plutarch's moral essays, translated into French by Jacques Amyot, held by the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. The pictures are decorative woodcut initials, large letters filled with scrolling acanthus leaves, foliage, and small figures, cut in a dense black line that a designer could adapt for display capitals or border ornament.
