A geography book in French by Pierre Duval, published in Paris in 1646 by Antoine de Sommaville for readers interested in the world's countries, governments and religions. Its pictures are small woodcut typographic ornaments, including a decorated initial M, an initial L with leafy foliage, a scrolled cartouche with a face, and a fruit-filled urn on a pedestal, useful for designers seeking early modern printer's ornament and border motifs.
