Entree de tres haut et tres puissant prince Henry de Bourbon, prince de Condé ... en la ville de Diion, le trentiesme du mois de septembre, mil six cens trente deux
This 1632 printed account of the ceremonial entry of Prince Henry de Bourbon, prince de Condé, into Dijon was issued by the widow of Claude Guyot, with text by Pierre Malpoy and Gautheron de Millot and engravings by Nicolas Spirinx. The pictures repeat one symmetrical triumphal-arch emblem: winged putti grip a central mask flanked by drapery swags, a CG cartouche, and a hanging pendant. A designer could take from it the dense, balanced ornament of seventeenth-century French cartouches and festival decoration.
