Information concernant l'affaire de Darien
A French pamphlet of 1699 with no named author, printed in Paris or elsewhere in France and held by the John Carter Brown Library, apparently a record of the Darien affair. Its single picture is a heraldic achievement: a shield with a chevron and three figures, a crested helm above, and scrolling mantling with a motto banner below. A designer could take from it the dense scroll-and-acanthus framing and the classic coat-of-arms structure for border or emblem work.
