Les admirables vertus des eaux naturelles de Pougues, & autres renommées de France. En faveur des malades qui ont recours en leurs salutaires emplois
A 1618 French medical treatise by Jean Banc, printed in Paris by L. Giffart, on the healing waters of Pougues and other famous French springs, written for patients who seek their curative use. The woodcut ornaments show a central mask flanked by cherubic figures and tasselled scrollwork, plus a grotesque-faced cartouche and a historiated initial S with two figures, offering a designer dense, hand-cut Renaissance decorative vocabulary for borders, initials and emblems.
