Estat present de l'Eglise et de la colonie françoise dans la Nouvelle France

Saint-Vallier, Jean-Baptiste de la Croix de Chevrières de, 1653-1727 · 1688 · Paris, R. Pepie · 2 pictures

A 1688 Paris printed work by Jean-Baptiste de la Croix de Chevrières de Saint-Vallier on the Catholic Church and French colony in New France, published by R. Pepie. The pictures are two woodcut ornaments: a decorative headpiece of stylised flowers and foliage above the word LETTRE in spaced capitals, and a separate flower-filled urn with leaves and a bud, both in crisp black line with dense hatching that suits historical borders, vignettes and botanical motifs for period-styled design work.
