Harangve av Roy, a la Roine, et avx hommes françois, sur l'entretenement & reconciliation de la paix, & entree dudict Seigñr en ses villes.
A 1565 French speech by Gabriel Bounin, printed in Paris by R. Estienne, addressed to the king, queen and French people on keeping the peace and the king's entry into his towns. The two pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial S built from scrolling foliage, and a horizontal headpiece of fruit, birds and leafy vines around a central chalice-like urn. A designer could draw on their dense, interlaced Renaissance linework for borders, drop caps and page decoration.
