Response à l'interrogatoire qu'in dit auoir este fait a Iean de Poltrot : soy disant seigneur de Merey, sur la mort du duc de Guyse.
A 1562 French pamphlet printed at Orléans by Eloy Gibier, issued under the name of Gaspard de Coligny, responding to an interrogation of Jean de Poltrot concerning the killing of the Duke of Guise. The picture is a large decorated initial letter P, a woodcut with dense scrolling foliage, acanthus-like leaves, and a grotesque human head at the right edge, showing how a designer might use a historic printed capital as a framing device for a title or opening paragraph.
