Oeuvres de mr. Capistron, nouvelle edition
A late seventeenth-century French edition of the collected plays of Jean Galbert de Campistron and Jean Rotrou, printed in Paris in 1698 by F. Guillain for a literary readership. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials and a horizontal ornamental band, with scrolling foliage, tendrils and a small animal in the frieze, which a designer could draw on for historical letterforms and border strips.
