Declaration du roy de France sur l'assassinat commis en sa personne par un moyne de l'ordre des Iacopins
A 1589 French royal declaration on the assassination of Henri III by a Jacobin friar, published by an unidentified printer and held by the University Library of Bern. Its two pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial N framed by foliage and scrollwork, and a triangular headpiece with a cherub and a face amid curling strapwork. A designer could take from them the dense, interlaced Renaissance ornament suited to display initials, borders and headpieces.
