Des hermaphrodits, accouchemens des femmes
A 1612 French medical treatise on hermaphrodites and childbirth, printed in Rouen by D. Geuffroy and written by Jacques Duval for a readership of physicians and learned readers. Its pictures are ornamental printers' initials, decorated capitals with foliage, scrollwork and figures, which a designer could take as models for dropped capitals, monograms and historical border ornament.
