Les oeuvres morales et meslées de Plutarque
A 1665 Paris printing of Plutarch's moral essays in French, issued by the printer Frédéric Léonard and later owned by John Adams, aimed at readers of classical ethics. The four pictures are historiated and decorated initial letters in woodcut style, with foliage scrollwork, animals, figures and grotesque masks that a designer could adapt for capitals, borders or ornamental frames.
