La Comtesse De Mortane Nouvelle - 1790's

8

This is a title page from a book of french fiction, a result of the industrial revolution of the 1700s. This book includes fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers.  It features an intricately designed initial letter, the stylization typical of this time in printing. This is similar to works of Pierre Simon Fournier.
