Les estranges changemens, faicts en Allemaigne contre les ennemis de l'Empereur.

1621 · Paris : P. Rocollet, 1621 · 2 pictures

A 1621 Paris pamphlet published by P. Rocollet, a political account of events in Germany against the Emperor's enemies, printed for a French readership. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a symmetrical scrolled cartouche with foliage, ribbon, and a central bell-shaped pendant, and a historiated initial N wrapped in leafy vine scrolling. A designer could take from them the dense, stamp-like contrast of black linework on cream paper and the framing of a letter within foliage.
