Les amovrs et avtres pieces tres-curieuses
A 1662 Paris collection of love poems and other curious pieces by the poet Tristan L'Hermite, published by G. Quinet for a literate reading public. Its pictures are small woodcut-style vignettes of a flower basket, with tulips, a central rose-like bloom, and carnations rising from a woven basket, showing how simple block-cut floral motifs were built from repeated gouged lines and hatching that a designer could adapt for pattern or ornament.
