Patin, Charles, 1633-1693, M., C.P.D., de la Faculté de Paris · 1676 · Rouen, J. Lucas · 14 pictures

A 1676 travel account published in Rouen by J. Lucas, written by Charles Patin, a Paris medical faculty member, describing journeys through Germany, England, Holland, Bohemia and Switzerland. The four pictures are small square decorative initial letters, M and A, each framed by a black border with corner florets and a ring of foliage around a central letter in a roundel. A designer could take from them a compact model for framed monogram capitals or a corner-ornament motif built from simple leaf and dot repeats.
