L'art de se conserver la santé, ou le medecin de soy-mesme. Avec un traité de quelques remedes des plus simples & les plus usitez pour la guerison de differentes maladies
A French medical self-help manual by Flamant, published in Paris in 1692 by Estienne Michallet for lay readers who wished to tend their own health. Its pictures are small printed devices: a crowned coat of arms with a Latin ex libris banner from the Paris surgeons' academy, a cherub's face framed in foliage and flowers, and a title-page fragment in italic type with a decorative rule. A designer might take from them the compact, ornamental vocabulary of early modern bookplates and tailpieces, with symmetrical scrollwork and sprays of leaves.
