Arrest de la Cour des monnoyes, rendu en faveur de la Communauté des maîtres tablettiers de Paris : du 14 décembre 1739
A 1739 French legal decree (arrêt) of the Paris Cour des monnaies, printed by Claude Girard for the Paris guild of comb and tablet makers, the tablettiers. The single picture is a decorative printed headpiece: a crowned heraldic shield with fleur-de-lis flanked by symmetrical acanthus-like scrolls, laurel sprigs and geometric key-pattern bands, a fine woodcut-style ornament a designer could borrow for symmetrical borders or heraldic motifs.
