Le Grant herbier en françois.
Le Grant herbier en françois is a 1500 Paris herbal printed by Pierre Le Caron, a medical reference for a lay and physician readership writing in French. Its pages show woodcut plants framed in rectangles beside dense black-letter columns of text, with decorative initials opening each entry. A designer might take the crisp, schematic botanical drawings, the boxed-image layout, and the ornamented initial letters as models for simple line-art plant illustration.
