L'antimoine justifié et l'antimoine triomphant
A French medical treatise on antimony by Eusèbe Renaudot, published in Paris by Jean Henault in 1653 for a learned readership of physicians and apothecaries. The pictures are small woodcut decorations: a large initial M framed in hatched black lines with a robed figure standing between two smaller figures, and a potted bouquet of tulips, carnations and a rose drawn with dense cross-hatching, offering a designer models for ornamental capitals and vignettes.
