Eloge historique de Callot, noble Lorrain, célèbre graveur
A historical eulogy of the engraver Jacques Callot, written by the Franciscan friar Claude Robert Husson and printed at Brussels in 1766, dedicated to Prince Charles-Alexandre of Lorraine. The pages are letterpress with a decorative engraved title vignette, a frontispiece-like portrait medallion, and an engraved plate of Callot's work, set in a double-rule border with ornamental corners. A designer might take the framed title page layouts, the centred italic and capital typography, and the ornamental border and vignette frames as models for classical book design.
