Description
Front cover of Le miroir du monde showing two women sitting on the edge of a well, one holding a quill and the other a mirror, and a winged putto leaning back against a telescope as a large full moon can be seen in the night sky.
Various techniques were used in this book to reproduce the original illustrations by Paul Avril, including heliogravure and chromotypographic processes.
