Nouvelles remarques de M. de Vaugelas sur la langue françoise [microforme]

Vaugelas, Claude Favre de, 1585-1650 · 1690 · Paris : G Desprez · 10 pictures

A 1690 Paris printing by G. Desprez of Claude Favre de Vaugelas's notes on French usage, a scholarly grammar work for readers of the French language. The pictures are a tailpiece-style ornament of black dense foliage, scrolls and a central mask, and a page of closely set preface text with a running head; a designer might take from them the heavy baroque cartouche and printer's ornament style, useful for bold black decorative borders and dividers.
