A 1585 Paris account, printed by Pierre Mettayer, of the ceremonial reception King Henry III gave to Swiss and Grisons ambassadors, set in French with Latin verse. The pictures are small woodcuts: a crowned king in an ornate initial, a Latin verse opening, an oval portrait of Henry III, and a ship within a shield, showing how sixteenth-century French print framed rulers and emblems.
