Declaration de Henry de Bovrbon : aviourdhuy troisiesme Prince du sang de France, Prince de Condé, Pair de France, & acco[m]pagné de plusieurs seigneurs gentils-hommes de l'une & lautre religion
A printed declaration issued in 1574 under the French sovereign Henry III, published at La Rochelle after a Strasbourg edition and concerning the Huguenots, addressed to the French nobility and religious parties of the period. The two pictures are a bookplate-style vignette of a seated figure before a towered castle beneath a motto ribbon reading Mente Libera, and a dense black-on-cream ornamental cartouche of interlaced scrolls and leaves, the latter suited to designers seeking a heavy early-modern printer's ornament for headers or frames.
