L'ami des voyageurs, ou, Etrennes instructives, curieuses et nécessaires à toutes les personnes qui voyagent, soit à pied, à cheval, en voiture, ou par eau : soit par les voitures publiques, etc. etc
A French travel handbook printed in Paris by Chez Marcilly in 1820, offering practical guidance to travellers on foot, horseback, by carriage or by water, and by public coach. The pictures are a handwritten-style bookplate with scrollwork and hearts, a plain letterpress title page with a small central moth ornament, and a boxed block of rearranged capitals reading as a scrambled word puzzle, offering a designer contrasts between ornate decorative framing, restrained typography, and bold geometric lettering.
