La Chapelle, I. de., La Chapelle, I. de · 1614 · Paris : F. Iacqvin, 1614 · 3 pictures

A 1614 Paris printed work by I. de La Chapelle, published by F. Iacqvin and issued in French for a courtly audience, celebrating peace and a royal prince's oath. The three pictures are a heraldic cartouche with a crown, shields and collar, a large decorated initial M opening a text, and a historiated initial O enclosing a winged figure; a designer could draw on their dense black woodcut line, ornamental borders and framed capitals for period display type and panels.
