Premier liure des serees
This 1608 French book, Premier liure des serees by Guillaume Bouchet, was printed in Paris by Jeremie Perier for a general French readership. The single picture is a large decorated initial A, built from interlaced woodcut foliage, scrolls and a small fleur-de-lis-like motif inside the letter's counter, a strong model for ornamental capitals and border framing.
