Dictionnaire des symboles, emblèmes & attributs
A French reference dictionary of symbols, emblems and attributes compiled by designer Maurice Pillard Verneuil and issued in Paris by Henri Laurens in 1897 for craftsmen, decorators and illustrators. The plates pair heavy display initials with horizontal Art Nouveau bands of flattened poppies, clover, pentagram rosettes and whipping stems, cut in black and white for direct reuse as headers, rules and drop caps.
