Henry III, King of France, 1551-1589. Lettre, Faber, Abraham, printer · 1589 · Metz : A. Faber, 1589 · 3 pictures

A 1589 pamphlet printed at Metz by Abraham Faber, reporting the assassination of Henry III of France and carrying his letters to the Comte de Montbeliart after his wound. The pictures are small black woodcut ornaments: two repeating strip borders of interlaced scrollwork and a central cartouche with a face flanked by foliage and ribbon-like tassels, useful for designers seeking early modern printer's ornament.
