Remonstance du clerge de France, faite au Roy le xix. Nouembre /
A French clerical remonstrance addressed to the King, printed in Paris in 1585 by Jean Richer, concerning church and state and the Huguenots. The pictures are a large woodcut decorated initial V with foliage and a grotesque face, set beside small text, and an oval vignette of a man beside a tree bearing a banner with the word Religion inscribed on it and a distant building, framed by a laurel wreath. A designer might take from them the sixteenth-century French typographic ornament, with its interlaced foliage and laurel border.
