La guerison du cancer du sein
This is a 1693 French medical treatise on curing breast cancer, printed in Rouen by the widow of Louis Behourt and written by Guillaume de Houppeville for physicians and medical readers. The pictures are plain letterpress details: a decorative ornamental border and bookplate lettering, a printed vignette of scrolling foliage, and handwritten ownership notes plus a library stamp, offering a designer examples of Baroque-era printers' ornament and old label typography.
