Reqveste presentee av Roy par Messieurs les Cardinaux, Princes Seigneurs, & les Deputéz de la ville de Paris & autres villes Catholiques associéz & vnis pour la defence de la religion catholique apostolique & romane.
A 1588 French Catholic League petition addressed to King Henri III, printed by an unnamed publisher and presented on behalf of Cardinals, princes, lords and deputies of Paris and allied Catholic towns. The pictures are letterpress details: a dense foliate strapwork border with scrolls and leaves, and an opening lettered initial S beside a block of roman-type text in a decorative, heavily ornamented page layout that suggests period typography for a designer's reference.
