A 1559 Paris printed administrative register of royal finance assignations issued by the Chambre des comptes, printed by Vincent Sertenas for the king's accounting officers. The pictures are a crowned heraldic shield with fleurs-de-lis inside a knotted collar with a monogram, and a large historiated initial A filled with foliage and a grotesque mask, showing how sixteenth-century French printers combined heraldry with ornamental capitals.
