Fournier le jeune’s Types and Ornaments, Barbou, Paris
From a copy in the Harvard College Library (facsimile), Fabularum Æsopiarum Libri Quinque Priores (scan)
1759
Among eighteenth century books in such format, I have mentioned the Collection des Auteurs Latines published by Barbou, who used them Fournier le jeune’s types and ornaments. In this connection, a three-volume edition of the Comœdiæ of Plautus (Paris, 1759) may be examined. For a very full showing of Fournier’s types and ornaments—though the engraved flowers appear to be by Papillon—see F. J. Desbillons’ Fabularum Æsopiarum Libri Quinque Priores, very agreeably printed by Barbou in the same year.
