Discours politiques a Agathon, sur les assemblees du Parlement & sur les mouuemens derniers.

1654 · [n.p.], 1654 · 2 pictures

A 1654 French political discourse, published anonymously without a named printer, addressed to Agathon on Parliament's assemblies and recent upheavals. Its two pictures are typographic ornaments from the period: a horizontal strapwork cartouche with scrolls and a central shield of fleurs-de-lis, and a large decorated initial M framed by foliage. A designer could take from them the dense, symmetrical seventeenth-century French border and initial-letter vocabulary for historical display type.
