A 1564 French treatise on country estate management, agriculture, hunting and falconry by Charles Estienne, printed in Paris by I. du Puis for landowners and farmers. The four pictures are repeated versions of one large decorative woodcut initial L, with a foliage-filled letter frame, curling acanthus-like leaves, and a small face or figure peering from the top right, useful as a model for historic ornamental capitals.
