Tableau des passions humaines, de leurs causes, et leurs effets
A French moral treatise on the human passions, their causes and effects, written by the bishop Nicolas Coeffeteau and printed in Paris in 1632 by M. Henault for a general reading public. Its pictures are four small woodcut initial letters C, each a stylised figure in a roundel ringed with leafy flowers and foliage, showing a designer how a decorative letter frame can hold a single emotive figure.
