Les equivoques du sieur de Chancy.
A 1640 Paris songbook of French chansons by François de Chancy, printed by Robert Ballard for secular music readers. The pictures are small printed ornaments: two near-identical openwork strapwork triangles of scrolls and foliage, and a decorative cartouche with figures, swags and tassels, plus a page showing staff music with a historiated initial. A designer might take the interlaced scroll geometry and the swag-and-tassel frame as reference for ornamental borders and monogram panels.
