Introduction à l'histoire, a 1685 French-language survey of the principal states of Europe, written by Samuel Pufendorf and translated by Claude Rouxel, printed at Utrecht by Jean Ribbius for French-reading readers. The pictures are small woodcut tailpiece-style ornaments of a flower basket, with a wicker basket holding five-petalled blooms and leaves drawn in bold black outline, a simple repeated motif a designer could adapt for vintage borders or botanical decoration.
