Reception faicte a la royne, mere du roy, en la ville de Tours le vendrdy 6.jour de septembre : ensembles les honneurs ceremonies, noms & qualitez des princes & seigneurs quil'ont assistée & accompagnée tant à son voyage qu'a son entrée audit Tours
A 1619 Paris printed account, published by Silvestre Moreau, of Queen Marie de Médicis's reception and entry into Tours, recording the ceremonies and the princes and lords who attended her. The single picture is a decorative coat of arms: a crowned shield with fleurs-de-lys and a second quartered emblem, set inside a frame of knotted strapwork, foliage and a ribbon-tied base. A designer could take from it the dense, symmetrical border ornament and heraldic cartouche structure of early seventeenth-century French print.
