Les decades de Tite-Live : avec les supplemens de J. Freinshemius; nouvellement augmentees d'un abrege chronologique: mises en Francois
This is a French translation of Livy's Roman histories, the Decades, rendered into French by Pierre du Ryer and printed in Amsterdam in 1700 by Andre de Hoogenhuysen for a reading public, later owned by John Adams. The pictures are typographic ornaments: a large decorated initial letter with scrolling acanthus, and small floral and fruit tailpieces in woodcut, showing how printers of this period framed text with botanical and foliate motifs a designer could adapt for headers, capitals, and borders.
