Les trois mondes
Les trois mondes is a 1582 French book by Lancelot-Voisin, sieur de La Popelinière, printed in Paris by Olivier de Pierre L'Huillier for readers interested in geographical discovery. Its pictures are letterpress decoration: large historiated initials, a foliate headpiece with a face, a strapwork frieze with putti, and dense black-letter text, offering designers ornate capitals and classical border ideas.
