Apologie pour ceux de la religion : sur les suiets d'aversion que plusieurs pensent avoir contre leurs personnes & leur creance
A 1648 French Protestant apologetic treatise by Moïse Amyraut, printed at Charenton by Samuel Petit for readers defending their faith against prejudice. Its pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial M with a face crowned in foliage, a scrolled headpiece with a central mask, a foliate tailpiece with a face and cherubs, and an ornamented initial B framed by leafy vines. Designers can take from them the dense, carved, black-on-cream ornament typical of early modern French typography.
