Feynes, Henri de, active 1606-1630 · 1630 · A Paris. : Chez Pierre Rocolet en la gallerie des Prisonniers aux armes de la ville · 3 pictures

A travel account printed in Paris in 1630 by Pierre Rocolet, recording Henri de Feynes's overland journey from Paris to China and his return by sea, aimed at a French reading public. The pictures are small typographic ornaments: a decorated initial C with foliage, the printer's privilege and colophon text, and a printer's band of owls, birds and flowers that a designer could take as a model for baroque-era ornamental borders.
