Oeuvres
Oeuvres is a 1669 collected works by François de La Mothe Le Vayer, printed in Paris by Louis Billaine and held by the John Carter Brown Library. Its pictures are small printed ornaments: a symmetrical strapwork band with a central grotesque mask and foliage, repeated twice, a title line in large serif capitals with a handwritten inscription, and a heraldic shield with a chevron and crest; a designer might take the mirrored ornament and the mask motif for border work.
