Entretiens sur les vies et sur les ouvrages des plus excellens peintres anciens et modernes : avec la vie des architectes
Felibien's 1725 Trevoux edition of lives of painters and architects, printed in French for a readership of art and architecture students and connoisseurs. The one picture is a printer's ornament, a symmetrical woodcut headpiece of acanthus scrolls, flowers and a central vase-like motif. A designer could take its mirrored scroll structure and the way it fills a wide horizontal band as a model for decorative borders and dividers.
