Bibliographie instructive
Bibliographie instructive, a bibliographic catalogue compiled by Guillaume François de Bure and published in 1765, held by Heidelberg University Library, aimed at book collectors and bibliographers. Its single picture is a letterpress tailpiece or headpiece of a flowering sprig with fan-shaped leaves, drawn in crisp black line with bold shading, suggesting a sturdy floral ornament a designer could adapt for borders or section breaks.
