Histoire de Charles VII. roy de France
A 1661 French history of King Charles VII of France, compiled by Denys Godefroy from chronicles by Jean Chartier, Gilles Le Bouvier and Mathieu d'Escouchy, printed by the Paris royal printing house for a royal audience. Its pictures are seventeenth-century engravings: a heraldic cartouche of fleurs-de-lis, a formal vase-and-scroll ornament, a laureled royal portrait, and a historiated initial S with a grotesque, offering designers ready models for baroque cartouches, frames and decorative capitals.
