Annales de chimie et de physique
Annales de chimie et de physique was a French scientific serial begun in Paris in 1789 and continued by Masson, written by chemists and physicists for a professional readership. The images sampled here are not diagrams but small letterpress ornaments: inked woodcut flower baskets, rose sprays, and leafy tailpieces, usable as section breaks, rough-edged vignettes, or period type ornaments.
