1527 · S.n. · 2 pictures

A 1527 French-language pamphlet printed without a named publisher, recounting the imperial sack of Rome of May 6, 1527, held by the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève. The two pictures show only its brown tooled leather binding with a gilt wreath-and-shield armorial stamp centred on the front board and a plain spine with raised bands, so a designer could take cues from aged leather, gold foil tooling and heraldic wreath ornament.
