Institutiones physicae ad usum scholarum accomodatae

Bayle, François, 1622-1709 · 1700 · Toulouse : J.P. Douladoure · 21 pictures

A Latin physics textbook by François Bayle, printed in Toulouse in 1700 for use in schools. The pictures are typographic headpieces and borders: rows of fleur-de-lis, scrollwork and strapwork bands, plus one framed panel with two winged figures flanking a wreath. A designer could take from them the dense repeating ornament of early modern printers' rules and the symmetrical, classical border structure.
