A 1558 Paris chronicle of King Louis XI of France, written by Jean de Roye and published by Galliot du Pré, for a French reading public. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a foliate border, with a historiated-style letter A, interlaced acanthus scrolls, and dense black-and-cream line work that a designer could borrow for display letterforms and ornamental headers.
