A 1620 Paris legal pleading by Robert Robin and Simon Houdry, printed by Jacques Villery, on whether a child considered a monstrosity could inherit from its father, held by a Paris health-sciences library. The picture is a decorative printed initial M in a dense foliate, scrollwork frame beside italic text, showing 17th-century French typography that a designer could draw on for ornamental capitals and interlaced vine borders.
