Le chirurgien charitable, tres utile et necessaire à tous chirurgiens & barbiers, & principalement pour ceux qui sont éloignez des villes...
Le chirurgien charitable is a 1656 French medical manual printed in Paris by Pierre Aubouin for surgeons and barbers, especially those far from towns. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a carved cartouche with scrolls and fruit, a looping arabesque panel, and a potted flower bouquet below a printed text block, useful to designers seeking compact historical borders, frames and floral motifs.
