Essai sur la montagne salifère du Gouvernement d'Aigle, situé dans le Canton de Berne
An 1788 French essay on the salt-bearing mountain of the Aigle district in the Canton of Berne, written by François Samuel Wild and published by Barde and Manget. Its four pictures are small decorative engravings and a wax seal: a cartouche with a putto on clouds, a lyre framed by laurel, a satyr pouring from a pitcher beside a footed cup, and a medieval seal impression in red wax. A designer could draw on the classical ornament for borders, vignettes and tailpieces.
