Edict et declaration faicte par le Roy Charles IX de ce nom : sur la pacification des troubles de ce Royaume
A 1563 royal edict of Charles IX of France, printed at Orléans by Eloy Gibier for the royal printer Robert Estienne, issued to pacify the religious troubles among the Huguenots. The pictures are a manuscript sketch of a building with a pointed roof, a woodcut decorated initial C framing a cherub's face with foliage, and a Boston Public Library bookplate over marbled endpaper; a designer might take the cherub initial and marbled paper as models for ornament and border work.
