Gaultier, Jacques, 1562-1636 · 1619 · A Lyon : Par Iean Baptiste Caesar · 4 pictures

A 1619 Lyon printed bilingual Spanish and French satirical book by Jacques Gaultier, issued by Jean Baptiste Caesar, collecting mock boasts of invented braggart captains for a general reading public. The four pictures are small printer's ornaments: a grotesque woven knot, a decorated initial Q beside an ornamental text block, a rectangular arabesque panel of scrolls and foliage, and a historiated initial M opening a French dedicatory letter, offering a designer clear models for historical border and initial work.
