L'Estat present de la chirurgie où il est parlé de la préseance du chirurgien et de l'apothicaire...
A 1675 French medical treatise on surgery, printed in Paris by Jean d'Houry and written by J. Charpentier, addressed to a readership of physicians, surgeons and apothecaries. The single picture is a text page of black-letter type opening with a large decorative initial Q, set among ornamental cross-shaped fleurons and a central rosette, which a designer could take as a model for classical print ornament and typographic hierarchy.
