Reflexions historiques et critiques sur les differens theatres de l'Europe : avec les Pensées sur la déclamation
A French treatise on European theatre and declamation by the actor and theorist Luigi Riccoboni, printed in Paris in 1738 by Jacques Guérin for readers of dramatic and performance theory. The four pictures are small woodcut headpieces and tailpieces, each a symmetrical ornament of scrolls, acanthus leaves, ribbons, and central emblems, that a designer could adapt for decorative borders, dividers, or heraldic-style panels.
