La doctrine des raports de chirurgie fondée sur les maximes d'usage et sur la disposition des nouvelles ordonnances
A 1684 French surgical treatise by Nicolas de Blégny, printed in Lyon by Thomas Amaulry, setting out the doctrine of surgical reports for practising surgeons and their readers. The pages are dense blocks of roman type with long-s ligatures, decorative drop capitals and tight justified lines, with no illustrations in these extracts. A designer might borrow the compact early modern typesetting, the historic drop cap and the rhythm of printed text blocks for vintage editorial layouts.
