Physiologie, médecine et métaphysique du magnétisme / par J. Charpignon.
Charpignon's 1841 treatise on animal magnetism, printed in Orléans and Paris by Pesty and Germer-Baillière for a readership of physicians and students of mesmerism. The single picture is a decorative printer's ornament: a central cartouche with a flourished letter A flanked by interlaced knotwork and scrolling foliage, a motif a designer could borrow for monograms, label crests, or symmetrical frames.
