Edit du roy, portant suppression de l'Edit de Nantes, et autres edits et declarations, données en faveur de ceux de la religion pretenduë reformée.
A 1685 royal edict printed in Toulouse by J. Boude, issued by the French crown to revoke the Edict of Nantes and restate measures aimed at Protestants of the reformed religion. The pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a fleur-de-lis shield inside a wreath, and a dense foliate woodcut initial beside the opening words. A designer could take from them the blackletter-era compact ornament style and the bold contrast of cut woodcut blocks for headers and capitals.
