De la theorie de la manoeuvre des vaisseaux
A 1689 Paris treatise on ship handling by Bernard Renau d'Eliçagaray and Joseph Sauveur, printed by Estienne Michallet for navigators and naval officers. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a leafy scroll band, a central floral medallion with a face, and a tulip-and-flower bouquet, useful to designers seeking historic European borders and vignettes.
