A 1544 French book printed in Lyon by I. de Tournes, a collection of works by Bonaventure Des Périers with editing credited to Antoine De Moulin, held at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. The pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, each a single letter in a square frame filled with foliage, grotesque faces and figures, drawn in a dense black-and-cream line style a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals and border framing.
