Rabat-joie de l'antimoine triomphant
Rabat-joie de l'antimoine triomphant is a 1654 French medical treatise by Jacques Perreau, published in Paris by Simon Moinet and held by the Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de santé. The picture shows two engraved armorial crests with ornamental mantling on a page with a French inscription beneath one, marking ownership by the Royal College of Surgeons of Paris. A designer could draw on the symmetrical scrollwork, crowns and heraldic framing as ready-made ornament for emblems or bookplates.
