Roman Types used in Géorgiques de Virgile: Didot l’aîné, Paris
From a copy in Harvard College Library, Google Books (scans)
1782
A book in small format that shows Didot l’aîné at his best as a printer, is the Abbé de Lille’s Géorgiques de Virgile, en vers François. Delightful old style types are used in this pretty little 32mo edition, which was printed for the Paris publisher, Bleuet, in 1782.
