unknown · 1694 · A Paris : Chez Martin Jouvenel, marchand libraire, ruë de la Bouclerie, au bout de Pont S. Michel, à l'image S. Augustin · 1 picture

A 1694 Paris medical tract by an unnamed author, printed by Martin Jouvenel, promoting cinchona bark (quinine) as a fever remedy for all ages and temperaments, linked to the English physician Robert Talbor. The single picture is an engraved heraldic achievement: a shield with a chevron and three charges, topped by a crest of a bird on a helm, with mantling and a scroll inscription reading CAUDEO beneath, suited to designers wanting baroque ornament or armorial motifs.
