De la theorie de la manoeuvre des vaisseaux
A 1688 naval treatise printed in Paris by Estienne Michallet, printer to the King, setting out the theory of ship handling by Bernard Renau d'Eliçagaray and Joseph Sauveur for seafaring readers and navigators. Its pictures are restrained copperplate engravings: a title vignette of a three-masted ship under sail with a rocky headland and a cartouche, a plain typeset title page with a small ornamental monogram, and a horizontal baroque scroll-and-foliage band, offering designers classical seventeenth-century frontispiece and border models.
