Cayer presenté au roy ... contenant plusieurs plaintes & doleances desdictes communautez.
A 1609 French printed petition by Claude Brosse, published in Lyon and sold in Grenoble, presenting complaints and grievances from Dauphiné communities to the king. The picture is a decorated historiated initial S beside a block of black-letter text, with the opening words 'Vos pauvres subiets habitans des villages de Dauphiné' in large type; a designer could take the ornamental capital and the dense type-led page layout as models for early modern display typography.
