Journal du traitement magnétique de madame B : Pour servir de suite au Journal du traitement magnétique de la Dlle N & de preuve à la théorie de l'essai. / Par M.T.D.M.

Jean François Damien Tardy de Montravel · 1787 · A Strasbourg : A la Librairie Académique, Janvier 1787. · 3 pictures

A 1787 French mesmerism casebook, a journal of magnetic treatment published at Strasbourg by the Librairie Académique and written by Jean François Damien Tardy de Montravel as a follow-up to an earlier case record. The three pictures are small printed ornaments, not scenes: a carved acanthus scroll panel with a central rosette medallion, a band of diamond lozenges with flower motifs and a round rosette, and a small swag-and-urn vignette beside handwritten ownership notes, useful to a designer seeking classical border and cartouche patterns of the late eighteenth century.
