La memoire renouvellee des merveilles des eaux naturelles en faveur de nos nymphes françoises & des malades qui ont recours à leurs emplois salutaires
A French medical treatise on mineral waters by Jean Banc, printed in Paris by Pierre Sevestre in 1605 for French readers and patients who take the cure. The pictures are small woodcut head-and-ornament devices: a grotesque mask with scrolled cartouches and tassels, a flanking pair of cherubs, and a fleshy Medusa-like face under foliage, offering a designer strong ornamental emblems with symmetrical scroll framing.
