Les decades de Tite-Live : avec les supplemens de J. Freinshemius; nouvellement augmentees d'un abrege chronologique: mises en Francois
A French translation of Livy's Roman histories, printed in Amsterdam in 1700 by Andre de Hoogenhuysen for a reading public of French speakers, with a copy once owned by John Adams. The pictures are woodcut decorative initials, large ornamental capitals built from scrolls, foliage and acanthus-like curls, plus a fruit-and-swag tailpiece, showing how early modern printers framed text with ornament a designer could adapt for display type or border work.
