Second voyage du père Tachard et des Jésuites envoyez par le roy au royaume de Siam : contenant diverses remarques d'histoire, de physique, de géographie, & d'astronomie
A 1689 Amsterdam printing by Guy Tachard, a Jesuit priest, recounting his second voyage to Siam for a French readership interested in natural science, geography and astronomy. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a stylised flower-like bloom, two decorative initial letters with foliage borders and scrollwork, and a symmetrical floral cartouche with hanging pendant forms, useful to a designer seeking historic filigree capitals and ornament.
