Institutiones physicae ad usum scholarum accomodatae

Bayle, François, 1622-1709 · 1700 · Toulouse : J.P. Douladoure · 18 pictures

Institutiones physicae is a 1700 Latin natural philosophy textbook by François Bayle, printed in Toulouse by J.P. Douladoure for use in schools. The four pictures are the same small woodcut of a flower-filled basket, repeated across the index as a printer's ornament or tailpiece. A designer could take from them the dense cross-hatched weave of the basket and the crowded, loosely drawn blossoms, useful for botanical or vintage decorative motifs.
