Les libres discovrs dv Sievr dv Praissac.
A 1618 Paris printed discourse by Du Praissac, published by Samuel Thiboust, addressed to monarchs and rulers in the style of early seventeenth-century French political prose. The picture is a page opening with a large decorative woodcut initial M wrapped in foliage, followed by widely spaced small capitals reading MONARQUES and a line of italic text in black on cream paper, offering a designer a model for ornamental initials and classic display typography.
