Dablon, Claude, 1619-1697 · 1673 · A Paris, : chez Sebastien Mabre-Cramoisy, imprimeur du roy, ruë S. Jacques aux Cicognes. · 5 pictures

A 1673 Paris printing by Jesuit missionary Claude Dablon, issued by the Mabre-Cramoisy press, reporting to Jean Pinette, provincial of the Jesuits in France, on missions in New France during 1671 and 1672. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a winged face with curled volutes, a cherub-flanked IHS monogram cartouche, and a basket of fruit and leaves, plus a printed title page with a letter-initial block. A designer might take from them the compact vocabulary of seventeenth-century French devotional print: cartouches, cornucopia-like baskets and tailpiece-scale fleurons.
