Reflexions critiques sur la poesie et sur la peinture

Dubos, abbé (Jean-Baptiste), 1670-1742 · 1719 · A Paris : Chez Jean Mariette, ruë Saint Jacques, aux Colonnes d'Hercules · 3 pictures

Dubos's 1719 Paris treatise on aesthetics, printed by Jean Mariette, compares poetry and painting and addresses music and theatre for a learned French readership. Its pictures are small woodcut headpieces and vignettes: a flourished ornamental band with interlaced scrolls and a central urn, and a classical emblem with a seated figure, a laurel-draped Latin motto, and a lion below, offering designers historical border and cartouche models.
