L'Histoire des François is a French history of the Franks, translated by Michel de Marolles from Gregory of Tours and printed in Paris in 1668 by Frédéric Léonard, printer to the king, for a French reading public. Its pictures are small woodcut headpieces and tailpieces of flower vases and scrolling foliage, which a designer could adapt for borders, dividers, or period ornament.
