Sword Hilt Designs

A set of plates by Antoine Jacquard representing designs in blackwork for sword handles, dagger hilts and pommels, decorated with abstracted foliage, grotesques, chimeric figures and drolleries. Produced between about 1610 and 1630. More on the biblioodyssey blog, one of the best resources for most things that I feature on this page:
