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 histories of Rome, printed in Amsterdam in 1700 by Andre de Hoogenhuysen and translated by Pierre Du Ryer for French-reading scholars and collectors; it was once owned by John Adams. The pictures are small printed ornaments, mostly woodcut fruit and flower cornucopia clusters with ribbon-tied swags and a scrolled cartouche top, repeated as head or tail pieces, useful to a designer as compact decorative borders and dividers.
