Histoire de Marguerite de Valois, reine de Navarre, Soeur de Francois I
A 1697 French historical biography of Marguerite de Valois, queen of Navarre and sister of Francis I, published in Lyon by L. Plaignard for a general reading public. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a winged face with a halo flanked by scrolling wings, a flower basket, and a bird between foliage in a rectangular border, offering designers compact, crisp motifs for vintage borders, headers, and emblem-style decoration.
