L'intrigue des filous : comédie

L'Estoile, Claude de, 1597-1652 · 1649 · Paris : [s.n.] · 2 pictures

A 1649 comedy printed in Paris by an unnamed printer, written by Claude de L'Estoile and held by the University of Ottawa, probably meant for playgoers or readers of French theatre of its day. The two pictures are a woodcut ornamental frieze with a central lion or grotesque mask flanked by flowers and scrolls, and a small woodcut of an armillary sphere on a stand, both suited to designers looking at early printed decorative borders and scientific emblems.
