Observations de monsieur Ménage sur la langue françoise [microforme]

Ménage, Gilles, 1613-1692 · 1675 · Paris : C. Barbin · 7 pictures

Observations de monsieur Ménage sur la langue françoise is a 1675 French-language treatise on grammar and usage by Gilles Ménage, published in Paris by C. Barbin, and held as a microfilm copy by the University of Ottawa. The scanned pictures are not illustrations from the text but stray marks: large bold numerals 76 and 50, the lowercase letters 'ep', and a small ornamental headpiece with a face among scrolls and foliage, all printed in heavy black on white. A designer might take from them the blunt, speckled, distressed quality of the numerals and the ornate central face-and-scroll headpiece as type and ornament reference.
