Relation des missions des evesques françois aux royaumes de Siam, de la Cochinchine, de Camboye, & du Tonquin, &c. Divisée en quatre parties

1684 · Paris, C. Angot · 2 pictures

A 1684 French account of Catholic missions in Siam, Cochinchina, Cambodia and Tonquin, printed in Paris by C. Angot for a readership of churchmen and missionary backers. Both pictures are the same woodcut ornamental cartouche: an oval frame of scrolled strapwork, foliage and ribbon swags around a central crowned shield with curling acanthus sprays, useful to a designer seeking early modern decorative framing.
