Aphorismes de M. Mesmer is a 1785 Paris treatise on animal magnetism, set down by Caullet de Veaumorel from Franz Anton Mesmer's dictated lectures to his students. Its pictures are small black-ink printed ornaments: scrolled acanthus leaves, flower urns, vases and sprays of blossom, and a fringed pedestal, set within the text pages. A designer might take from them compact, symmetrical cartouche and vignette layouts typical of eighteenth-century French book decoration.
