Remarques critiques sur les oeuvres d'Horace : avec une nouvelle traduction ..
A 1681 Paris edition of Horace's works with critical remarks and a new French translation by André Dacier, published by Denys Thierry and Claude Barbin and formerly owned by John Adams. The pictures are repeated woodcut ornaments of a symmetrical flower arrangement in a footed urn, printed as decorative tailpieces or headpieces in the text. A designer could take from them the balanced fan-shaped composition of tulips, star-shaped blossoms and leaves rising from a goblet, a model for symmetrical botanical ornament in woodcut style.
