La Victoire du roy contre les Véniciens
A 1509 French printed account of King Louis XII's victory over the Venetians, written by Claude de Seyssel and issued by the successors of Richard Auzoult for a general reading public. The woodcut scene shows mounted and foot soldiers in a battle beside a walled town, framed by decorative initials; the flowered initial block and the gilt-stamped brown leather binding with a central armorial wreath suggest ornamental borders and heraldic cartouches for designers.
