L'Histoire des François is a 1668 French history by Gregory of Tours, translated by Michel de Marolles and printed in Paris by Frederic Leonard for a French readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a band of birds among flowering vines and a flower-filled urn with a tulip-like crown, both printed in heavy black line, useful to a designer looking for compact historical borders and vessel motifs.
