A French translation of Livy's Roman histories, with Freinsheim's supplements, published in Amsterdam in 1700 by André de Hoogenhuysen and translated by Pierre Du Ryer, now held in John Adams's library. The pictures are decorative woodcut initials and headpieces in the printer's ornament stock, with scrolling acanthus leaves, spirals and foliate frames that a designer could draw on for historical or classical page ornament.
