Traité historique et pratique de la gravure en bois
A French treatise on wood engraving by Jean-Michel Papillon, published in Paris in 1766 by Pierre Guillaume Simon for artisans and collectors of prints and printing. Its pictures are ornamental head- and tailpieces built from scrolls, flags, garlands, and trophies, showing how decorative blocks were composed and cut, useful to a designer studying 18th-century cartouche and vignette structure.
