A French emblem book by Marin Le Roy, sieur de Gomberville, printed in Paris by Jacques Le Gras in 1688, pairing a hundred engraved emblems with moral commentary on the passions for readers pursuing practical ethics. Alongside the emblem plates the volume is stocked with letterpress ornament: heavy-inked foliate headpieces, heart-shaped tailpiece clusters, and framed woodcut initials with flowers and leaves, usable as spot ornaments, dividers, and drop caps.
