L'Ortografe françoise, ou, L'Unique metode, contenant les règles qu'il est nécessaire de savoir pour écrire correctement [microforme]

Blégny, Étienne de · 1667 · Paris : G. André · 7 pictures

A French grammar and spelling manual by Étienne de Blégny, printed in Paris by G. André in 1667 for readers learning to write French correctly. The pictures are four scanned pages of the book: a large decorative initial letter M carved in dense hatched black, a dense two-column page of printed French rules with headings in capitals, and two bold stencil-like page numbers, 27 and 30. A designer might take from them the heavy, textured initial and the crowded typographic density of seventeenth-century French book pages.
