Ballet du temple de la paix
A 1685 Paris printed libretto for a ballet by composer Jean-Baptiste Lully, issued by the publisher Christophe Ballard for court and theatre audiences. The pictures are decorative woodcut ornaments: a central medallion of figures amid scrollwork, a strip with dancing figures in an oval, a foliate border, and a large historiated initial S with a seated woman and animals in leafy vines, offering designers classical scrollwork and framing devices.
