La pharmacopée des dogmatiques réformée
A 1648 French pharmacopoeia printed at Lyon by H. de la Garde under the name Joseph Duchesne, sieur de la Violette, written for physicians and apothecaries of the reformed medical school. The two pictures are small woodcut ornaments, each a symmetrical composition of a central face framed by leafy scrolls, ribbon knots and hanging tassels set on a rough paper ground. A designer could take from them a model for symmetrical headpieces, tailpieces or decorative dividers in an early-modern woodcut style.
