Hydrologie ou discours des eaux...
A medical treatise on mineral waters in French, written by Jean de Combe and printed at Aix in 1645 by Etienne David for physicians and readers of seventeenth-century medical literature. The picture is a small ink impression beside a circular library stamp showing a bearded profile in a roundel, next to a woodcut ornament of a flower-filled urn with scrolled volutes, a motif a designer could adapt for botanical or heritage-style decoration.
