A 1625 Paris printed remonstrance by the General Assembly of the French Clergy, delivered at Fontainebleau to King Louis XIII against dueling, published by A. Estienne. The two pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a tree with a scroll bearing a motto above a rule of 'A PARIS,' and a large decorative initial S filled with leafy scrolls and flowers. A designer could take from them the compact, hand-cut style of early seventeenth-century French printers' ornaments for title pages and chapter openings.
