Motets et elevations pour la chapelle du Roy, imprimez par l'ordre de Sa Majesté. Quartier d'avril, may, & juin 1686.
A 1686 Paris printed collection of motets and elevations for the French royal chapel, issued by François Muguet under royal order, with texts by Pierre Robert, Lully and Collasse. The pictures are small woodcut-style printer's ornaments: heraldic cartouches with fleurs-de-lis and crowned shields, flanked by winged putti and trophies of flags, and framed scrollwork with figures and garlands. A designer could draw on their symmetrical banner-and-cartouche layouts and dense flourish borders for period title pages or decorative frames.
