Discours, en forme d'oraison funebre, sur le massacre & parricide, de Messeigneurs le duc, & cardinal de Guyse. Auec les Regrets, sur le massacre & assasinat du ... prince ... Henry de Lorraine, duc de Guyse ...
A 1589 French printed pamphlet issued in Paris by printer Jacques de Varangles, an oration lamenting the murders of the Guise brothers and addressed to a French readership of the period. The picture is a decorated initial S in an ornate woven-scroll frame beside columns of black-letter text, set off by a plain type-only block. A designer could draw on its interlaced foliate knotwork and calligraphic capital for historical display lettering and border ornament.
