Puységur, Armand Marie Jacques de Chastenet, marquis de (1751-1825), Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine · 1786 · A Londres : [publisher not identified], 1786. · 1 picture

This is a 1786 French treatise on animal magnetism, attributed to the marquis de Puységur and published in London, its record held by the Countway Library of Medicine for a medical readership. The one picture is not an illustration from the text but a library bookplate-style heraldic device: a rampant lion on a shield under a banner reading VERITAS, with the motto Veritatem per medicinam quaeramus. A designer could take its crest-and-ribbon layout as a model for emblems or institutional seals.
