Musaeum selectum, sive, Catalogus librorum viri clariss. Michaelis Brochard : cum indice auctorum alphabetico
Musaeum selectum is a 1729 Paris auction catalogue of the library of Michel Brochard, printed by Gabriel Martin for book collectors and dealers, with an alphabetical author index. Its two pictures are small printers' ornaments: a symmetrical scrolled acanthus cartouche with a central fan-shaped crest, and a narrow fleur-de-lis shield flanked by leafy sprays. A designer could draw on their fluid scrollwork and balanced symmetry for frames, dividers, and heraldic-style headers.
