Ordonnance generalle faicte par le Roy, pour la police & reglement de la suitte de sa Court, publiée à Villiers-Costerez à son de trompe & cry public, le trentiesme & penultiesme iour de Decembre, mille cinq cens soixante & dix.
A 1571 Paris printed royal ordinance by the French crown, issued by printer Jean Dallier, regulating the household of the King's court and published at Villiers-Costerêts. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: an initial C framing a bird and foliage, a central shield of fleur-de-lis flanked by winged figures and the motto Pietate et Justitia, and a single rose with leaves. A designer might take from them the compact, symmetrical vocabulary of sixteenth-century French printed ornament for borders, headers and heraldic emblems.
