Memoires et instructions pour les ambassadeurs, ou, Lettres et negotiations de Walsingham ... : avec les maximes politiques de ce ministre, & des remarques sur la vie des principaux ministres & favoris de cette princesse
A French diplomatic and political compilation published in Amsterdam in 1700 by George Gallet, drawn from the letters and negotiations of Sir Francis Walsingham and written for ambassadors and statesmen. Its pictures are small woodcut floral ornaments: a flower basket framed by acanthus scrolls, and several urn-shaped vases of blossoms, one a bunch of bulb-like tulips in a bowl. A designer could draw on their compact, black-line botanical motifs for decorative borders, tailpieces, or vintage floral panels.
