De la réformation du theâtre,
A 1743 French treatise on theatre reform by Luigi Riccoboni, printed in Paris and aimed at readers of French drama and theatre. The pictures are printers' ornaments and headpieces: black-and-white woodcut strips and a central emblem built from scrolls, foliage, urns and interlaced geometric panels. A designer could take from them ready-made decorative borders, dividers and symmetrical scroll motifs for period-style layouts.
