La doctrine des moevrs, a 1646 Paris moral treatise by Marin Le Roy de Gomberville with plates by Pierre Daret, meant to teach young readers Stoic ethics through a hundred pictures. The pictures are historiated woodcut initials, each a large letter V or L framed by foliage, with small figures of soldiers, a seated man, and two people clasping hands, and a designer could borrow their dense, symmetrical ornament for decorative capitals.
