Diverses petites poésies du chevallier d'Aceilly : premier volume
A 1667 Paris collection of short French poems by Jacques de Cailly, seigneur de Ruilly, printed by A. Cramoisy and preserved in the University of Ottawa library. The four pictures are typographic ornaments: strapwork friezes, a central flower motif, a mask-and-scroll corner piece, and a row of fleurs-de-lis, all in black woodcut-style line on pale paper. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrollwork and border-band repeats for period frames, dividers, or headpieces.
