Diderot Encyclopedia 1765 / Typographic Border
What drew my eye initially to this stack of orphans what the use of decorative border on each page of letterpress. many of the designs were later copied by the Monotype and Linotype companies during the typographic revival in the 1920s. I recently bought a Thompson-cast version of this Linotype border from Sky Shipley's Skyline Type Foundry. It's a delight to see it in its natural state.
