Proserpine, tragédie
A libretto of Lully's opera Proserpine, with words by Quinault, printed in Paris by Christophe Ballard in 1680 for opera audiences and readers. The pictures are decorative woodcut ornaments: strapwork and foliage bands, a central medallion with a small figure scene, and a grotesque mask flanked by cherubs and fruit swags, which a designer could draw on for border, frame, or header ideas.
