A 1630 French polemical tract printed in Paris by E. Martin, written by François de Vellay in defence of Cardinal Richelieu against the Duke of Savoy, and aimed at a political readership. Its three pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: a horizontal band of scrolling foliage with a central cartouche, a symmetrical grotesque mask flanked by curling scrolls and hanging pendants, and a large decorated initial M filled with leafy tendrils, all in a dense, high-contrast black line that suits headers, tailpieces and decorative capitals in period-style layouts.
