Les plus belles lettres des meilleurs auteurs François : avec des notes
A 1696 French letter-writing anthology published in Brussels by Josse de Grieck, compiled by Pierre Richelet and annotated for French-language readers, from a copy once owned by John Adams. The pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a row of flourished initials, a historiated initial showing a figure within curling leaves, a round emblem framed by foliage, and a basket of flowers, all in dense black line that suggests printed decoration for headings and capitals.
