Des bons mots et des bons contes [microforme] : de leur usage, de la raillerie des anciens, de la raillerie et des railleurs de nôtre temps
A 1692 Paris printing by Monsieur de Callières, a treatise on wit, jests and mockery issued by the publisher Claude Barbin, with decorative headpieces set above its text. The pictures are black-and-white ornamental printer's flourishes: a horizontal strapwork band with scrolls and foliage, and a symmetrical rococo-style cartouche of acanthus scrolls and floral sprays around a central medallion, a useful reference for designers working on baroque ornament, border design and symmetrical motif layouts.
