Paulmier de Courtonne, Jean, 1636-approximately 1669 · 1664 · A Paris, : chez Claude Cramoisy, ruë Saint Victor, proche la place-Maubert, au Sacrifice d'Abel. · 4 pictures

A 1664 Paris mission treatise by Jean Paulmier de Courtonne, printed by Claude Cramoisy, arguing for a Christian mission to the southern lands called Terre Australe, addressed to Pope Alexander VII. The four pictures are a printer's ornamental woodcut border of scrolling foliage with a central flower, repeated twice, a large decorated initial T with foliage beside the words 'Res-saint', and a marbled-paper bookplate bearing a coat of arms, useful for a designer seeking historic border, initial, and paper patterns.
