Plaidoyé de M.L. Dollé advocat en la Covr de Parlement /
A 1595 Paris legal pleading (plaidoyer) by the advocate Louis Dollé, printed by Estienne for the Parlement of Paris, concerning Jean Châtel's 1594 attack on Henri IV and the Jesuits. Its four pictures are small woodcut headpieces and an initial: a grotesque mask-and-putti frieze, a dense fruit-and-foliage border, a tree with a man beside it, and a decorated capital letter opening the text. A designer could draw on the Renaissance grotesque and strapwork vocabulary for borders and openings.
