A 1649 legal compilation printed in Lyon by G. Barbier, printer to the King, gathering the privileges and franchises of the city's merchant provost and aldermen for its civic officials and residents. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, each a large letter framed in a square of leafy scrollwork, with a bold black stem and foliage in the spaces around it, a model for designers seeking historical capital letters and border ornament.
