Propositions et offres faictes au roy ...
A 1627 French printed document, Propositions et offres faictes au roy, attributed to Anthoine Sercamanen, with no named publisher, addressed to the king. The single picture is a decorative strip from its title area: a central heraldic shield with fleur-de-lis flanked by two winged putti among scrolling foliage and flowers, cut in black on cream paper. A designer could take from it the symmetrical ornamental border layout, the balance of heraldry with acanthus-style scrollwork, and the pairing of cherubs with leaves.
