Entretiens solitaires
Entretiens solitaires is a 1660 French book by Georges de Brébeuf, printed in Rouen and sold in Paris by Antoine de Sommaville, likely for a general literary readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments, such as flower-filled urns, vases and baskets, which show how 17th-century printers decorated headpieces and tailpieces with flora and framing motifs a designer could adapt for period-style borders.
