This 1599 Lyon regulation was issued by royal commissioners of France to set tax assessments and correct financial abuses in the Lyon generality, printed by Guichard Julliéron and Thibaud Ancelin for officials and tax collectors. Its single picture is a decorative historiated initial 'E' with ornate interlace filling the letter, set above a block of dense black-letter French text, a model for designers seeking early modern display capitals and letterpress ornament.
