Histoire de Marguerite de Valois, reine de Navarre, Soeur de Francois I

Caumont de La Force, Charlotte Rose de, d. 1724 · 1697 · Lyon, L. Plaignard · 4 pictures

A 1697 French historical biography of Marguerite de Valois, queen of Navarre and sister of Francis I, written by Charlotte Rose de Caumont de La Force and published in Lyon by L. Plaignard. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a winged cherub head repeated twice, a decorative initial T framed by foliage, and a bookplate with an arched frame and coat of arms. A designer could draw on the cherub's stacked wings and the leafy initial border for ornamental headers, capitals, or bookplate-style framing.

Marguerite, Queen, consort of Henry II, King of Navarre, 1492-1549
