Traicté de la Peste, de la petite Verolle et Rougeolle : avec une briefve description de la Lepre. Par Ambroise Paré, premier Chirurgien du Roy et Juré à Paris
A French-language medical treatise on plague, smallpox, measles and leprosy by Ambroise Paré, the king's chief surgeon, printed by André Wechel in Paris in 1568 for surgeons and physicians. The pictures are a richly ornamented title page with caryatid-like figures, scrollwork and putti in a rectangular frame, and a sparse printer's device of a winged horse above caduceus-like serpents, palm fronds and clouds, offering designers strong models for black-and-white ornamental framing and emblematic heraldry.
