Claudii a Sancto Vinculo [microform] : De pronuntiatione linguae gallicae..

1580 · Londini : T. Vautrollerius · 8 pictures

A 1580 French-language grammar on pronunciation, printed in London by T. Vautrollerius and held by Canadiana.org, aimed at English readers learning French. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut printers' ornaments: a central female head in a plumed headdress flanked by fruit-filled cornucopias and feathered fronds, all marked T. V., plus an oval anchor emblem wreathed in leaves with a motto band. A designer could draw on their dense, symmetrical, engraved-line ornament for border or monogram work.
