This is a French survey of medieval and Renaissance arts by P. L. Jacob, published in Paris by Firmin Didot in 1869 for a general readership of art lovers. Its pictures are wood-engraved decorative initials, carved ivory-style panels and ornamental capitals, with dense interlace, scrolls and foliage that a designer could draw on for letterforms, borders and historicist ornament.
