L'Hospital des fols incurables...
A French-language printed edition from 1620 Paris, published by F. Julliot, of Tomaso Garzoni's satirical work on incurable fools, a text aimed at a general reading public. The pictures are decorative historiated initial letters and small woodcut vignettes set beside dense black-letter text, with ornate scrollwork, foliage, a grotesque face and a small animal, offering a designer ideas for drop caps and framed headpieces.
