Cambrai (France).Bishops, Cambrai (France). Bishops, Fénelon, François de Salignac de La Mothe-, 1651-1715. Explication des maximes des saints · 1699 · [n.p. · 1 picture

A 1699 record of the provincial assembly of bishops of Cambrai, France, printed by an unnamed publisher and catalogued under prohibited books, with its frontispiece-style tailpiece sitting at the top of the book's opening. The picture is a black-and-white woodcut-style decorative panel: a central seated female figure flanked by scrolling acanthus foliage and clusters of grapes and fruit within a ruled border. A designer could take its symmetrical scroll framing and fruit garlands as a model for a horizontal header or divider ornament.
