Emblemes ou devises chretiennes : ouvrage mêlé de prose & de vers, et enrichi de figures ..
A French emblem book of Christian devices in mixed prose and verse, printed at Lyon by Mathieu Chavance in 1717 for devout lay readers and preachers. The woodcut ornaments are small letterpress vignettes: radiant faces in crowned medallions, acanthus scrolls, baskets of flowers and scattered blossoms, printed in coarse black line on toned paper and usable as headpieces, tailpieces and page dividers.
