A 1764 French typographic manual by Pierre Simon Fournier le jeune, with engravings by Fessard and Gravelot and designs after Sève, printed in Paris for writers and working printers. The single picture is a black ornamental cartouche with scrolling acanthus leaves and a central monogram, a typographic fleuron-style ornament that suggests how decorative frames and printer's flourishes were built for page borders and title pages.
