L'Orphée grotesque avec le bal rustique, en vers burlesques
L'Orphée grotesque is a 1649 French mazarinade, a burlesque verse pamphlet by Emond Auger published by S. Martin in Paris during the Fronde and aimed at a public hostile to Cardinal Mazarin. The pictures are small printed ornaments: a woodcut band of foliage, scrolls, and a fleur-de-lis shield, plus two decorative initial letters, V and T, framed in leafy vines with hatched bases, offering designers compact borders and capital letters.
