A 1729 Amsterdam book by Melchoir de Ruusscher, printed by Hermanus Uytwerf, presenting a natural history of cochineal in Dutch and French for dyers and naturalists. The single picture is a small printed ornament of stylised leaves and a central flourish, a typographic tailpiece on an aged cream page with a fragment of printed text above, offering a designer a compact botanical-scroll motif for borders or dividers.
