This is a 1617 Paris pamphlet printed by bookseller Abraham Saugrain, a brief account in French of the execution of the Marquise d'Ancre, written for a general reading public. Its pictures are typographic ornaments: a decorated initial letter with foliate scrollwork, a row of repeating strapwork and scroll border blocks, and a symmetrical arabesque roundel, which a designer could draw on for historical ornament, letterforms and pattern repeats.
