Dictionnaire françois..
A French-language dictionary compiled by Pierre Richelet and printed in Geneva by J.H. Widerhold in 1680, a reference work for French speakers. Its four pictures are small woodcut head- and tailpiece ornaments: a symmetrical peacock flanked by flowers and a scrolled interlace panel with sprays of blossom. A designer could draw on their compact, symmetrical arrangement of foliage, birds and flourishes for borders and dividers.
