A 1644 French chronicle of Aquitaine and the kings of France and England, written by Jean Bouchet and printed at Poitiers by A. Mounin. The pictures are historiated initials, decorative capital letters set within foliate frames of leaves and flowers. A designer could take from them the模式 of a letter enclosed by a dense border of stylised foliage and blossoms, cut in woodblock.
