1558 · [Geneva] : Chez Iean Crespin · 10 pictures

A 1558 French translation of Francesco Negri's Italian tragedy Tragedie du roy Franc-arbitre, printed in Geneva by Jean Crespin for French-speaking readers. The pictures are decorative woodcut initials, the large letters C and P and I with interlaced foliage, scrolls and fleur-de-lis filling their bowls and borders, a style a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals.
