Sermons prêchez devant son altesse roïale Madame la Duchesse d'Yorck

La Colombière, Claude de, Saint, 1641-1682 · 1684 · Lyon : Anisson, Posuel & Rigaud · 35 pictures

A 1684 French sermon collection by Claude de La Colombière, printed in Lyon by Anisson, Posuel & Rigaud and dedicated to the Duchess of York. The four pictures repeat one woodcut headpiece: a central roundel with two standing figures flanked by scrolling foliage, winged creatures and a grotesque mask in a symmetrical band. A designer could take its mirrored cartouche layout, interlaced acanthus scrolls and dense black line work as a model for ornamental borders.
