Consideration svr l'estat de la France
A 1614 French political treatise printed in Paris by Pierre Buray, concerning the state of France under the regency of Marie de Médicis and the prince de Condé, held by the Boston Public Library. The only picture is a plain bookplate-style frame, not a true illustration: a laurel wreath encircling a medallion of two figures beside a central shield, above the printed line 'Bought with the Charlotte Harris Fund, Charlestown Branch.' A designer might take from it the classical wreath-and-medallion framing typical of early seventeenth-century printed ornament.
