Recueil des plus curieux et rares secrets tirés des manuscrits de feu Mr Joseph Du Chesne, Sieur de la Violette...
A 1648 French collection of alchemical and medicinal secrets compiled from the manuscripts of Joseph Du Chesne, published in Paris by Simeon Piget for physicians and curious readers. The single picture is a close view of a decorated initial letter and italic heading setting out a recipe for a universal dissolvent, showing the printer's typography and ornamental capital that a designer could draw on for historical display type.
