Roguenant, Jean., Roguenant, Jean · 1616 · Paris, 1616 · 3 pictures

A 1616 Paris printed book by Jean Roguenant, a verse celebration of King Henry IV of France written for a French royal audience. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a crowned coat of arms with fleurs-de-lis, showing the ornamental letter and heraldic styles of early seventeenth-century French print. A designer could take from them the interlocking leafy initial frames, the dense scrollwork borders, and the emblem-like heraldic cartouche.

Henry IV, King of France, 1553-1610 · Louis XIII, King of France, 1601-1643
