Le Taureau bannal [sic] de Paris
A 1689 satirical French pamphlet printed under the imprint of P. Marteau in Cologne, a fictitious publisher name used for banned or clandestine works, aimed at a readership of curious and politically aware Parisians. The single picture is a small engraved armillary sphere with a tilted ring marked with zodiac-like signs and a plain stand, a crisp line device a designer could adapt for emblem-style or scientific diagram motifs.
