Les Sept Derniers Articles accordez par le Roy & son Conseil : à Messieurs les Deputez des trois Estats
A 1615 Paris printing of seven final articles issued by King Louis XIII and his council to the deputies of the three estates of France, concerning taxation and the 1614 Estates-General. The single picture is a printer's device: a crowned heraldic shield with fleurs-de-lis and a cross, flanked by Latin mottoes on ribbons and encircled by a rope and foliage border. A designer could take from it the model of a formal emblem built around a crowned shield, ribbon scrolls and a radiating laurel-like wreath.
