Le chirvrgien methodiqve : contenant plusieurs enseignemens necessaires aux chirurgiens, & profitables aux medecins & pharmaciens. Extraict de la Chirurgie de M. Guy autrement dict Guidon de Cauliac. Par M. G. Des Innocens chirurgien natif & habitant de Tolouse
A 1596 French surgical handbook by Guy de Chauliac, extracted and adapted by surgeon Des Innocens of Toulouse for surgeons, physicians and apothecaries, printed in Lyon by Benoist Rigaud. The pictures are small crude woodcuts of barber-surgeon scenes: a seated patient having his hair or head tended and a shaving or treatment scene in an interior, with a library stamp on the title page. A designer might take their compact, hand-cut line work and the period domestic interior settings as reference for rustic woodcut style.
