Generale instruction et tres asseuree methode qu'il faut tenir en la consulte des maladies divisée en trois parties
A 1644 French medical treatise printed in Paris by Denis Moreau, written by David de Planis Campy and addressed to practising physicians and surgeons on how to consult about illnesses. The pictures are typeset pages with large decorative initial letters: a flourished M and a foliate capital set in woodcut frames, with dense seventeenth-century roman type and marginal notes. A designer might take from them the ornamental woodcut initial, the framed foliage borders, and the crowded, justified text blocks of early French print.
