A 1615 French funeral book printed in Lyon by Guichard Pailly, commemorating the death of Cardinal François de Joyeuse, archbishop of Rouen, at Avignon. Its one picture is a small printed ornament: a symmetrical cartouche of scrolls, beaded bands and a grotesque mask at the centre, with a looped pendant below. A designer could take from it a compact baroque device suited to framing a title, a vignette, or a seal-like emblem on a printed page.
