Essai sur le beau : augmentée de six discours : sur le modus, sur le decorum, sur les graces, sur l'amour du beau, sur l'amour désintéressé
A French treatise on aesthetics by the Jesuit Yves Marie André, expanded with six discourses by Guillaume-Germain Guyot and printed in Paris by L. Etienne Ganeau in 1770, for readers of philosophy and taste. The pictures are small letterpress woodcut flower sprays and tailpieces, printed heavily in solid black on laid paper, useful as chapter ornaments, spot motifs, or coarse floral silhouettes.
