Les oeuvres de Théophile, divisée en trois parties : dédiées aux beaux esprits de ce temps
A 1662 Paris printed edition of Théophile de Viau's collected works, dedicated to the wits of its day, published by N. Pepingue. The four pictures are small woodcut headpiece ornaments of a central mask-like face flanked by scrolls and foliage, repeated as tailpieces across the pages, offering a designer a compact symmetrical border or divider motif.
