Le Triomphe d'Amour et de Mars : représenté en la personne d'Angélique et de deux princes infortunés

Ravaud, Abraham, 1600-1646 · 1632 · Paris : A. Courbé · 9 pictures

Le Triomphe d'Amour et de Mars is a 1632 Paris printed book by the poet Abraham Ravaud, issued by the publisher A. Courbé for a French reading public. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments: a grotesque C-shaped initial with a flaming central motif, a masked face within laurel and bead-strung scrollwork, a floral and scroll border strip, and a stylised fleur-like tailpiece, all of which suggest how period ornaments can be reused for headers, initials and dividers.
