A 1549 French account, translated from Italian, of festival triumphs staged in Rome for the birth of the Duke of Orléans, printed in Paris by Jean André and Gilles Corrozet for a French royal readership. The pictures are small black woodcut emblems and printer's devices, a heart with scrolled foliage and a tabletop ornament, set in plain pages, with a tooled brown leather binding bearing a gilt wreath-and-shield roundel that a designer could use for classic bookplate or border motifs.
