Causeries d'un curieux : variétés d'histoire et d'art tirées d'un cabinet d'autographes et de dessins
This 1862 Paris book by Félix Feuillet de Conches, published by H. Plon, is a French miscellany of art and history drawn from a collection of autographs and drawings. The single picture is a bold black Chinese character, shown as a heavy brush-like woodcut or print on a white ground, suggesting strong calligraphic structure a designer could borrow for a bold letterform or logo mark.
