Nouvelle chymie raisonnée...
A French chemistry treatise by Michel Ettmuller, printed at Lyon in 1693 by Thomas Amaulry for medical and scientific readers. The single framed vignette shows a seated woman reading a book beside a winged, helmeted messenger holding a caduceus on a terrace with balusters, drawn in fine engraved line with a double-rule border that a designer could adapt for classical or antiquarian framing.
