Du Hamel (Jean) · 1648 · Dinan : Iacques Mahé · 5 pictures

A 1648 French medical treatise by Jean Du Hamel, printed at Dinan by Jacques Mahé, describing the mineral waters of Dinan, their curative uses and how to take them, written for readers seeking the spa's remedies. The pages show decorated initial letters with foliate and grotesque ornament and a printer's tailpiece of two figures flanking a central urn with a flower, offering a dense, early seventeenth-century letterpress vocabulary for ornamental borders, historiated capitals and symmetrical emblem layouts.
