L'aspirant a la maistrise en chirurgie
A 1653 French treatise for surgeons seeking mastership, written by Emmanuel Labadie and printed in Lyon by François Huguetan for candidates in the surgical trade. The picture is a title-page block with the author's name in spaced capitals, a decorative cartouche of foliage and a mask-like head, and a profile portrait medallion of Hippocrates labelled in Greek and inscribed 'Sante de Paris' around its rim, suggesting baroque ornament and classical bust roundels for layout inspiration.
