La Prinse de Pavie par Monseigneur d'Anguien, accompaigné du Duc d'Urbin...

1544 · Guyon Boudeville · 4 pictures

A 1544 French printed account of the capture of Pavia, published by Guyon Boudeville and held by the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, written as a history of the battle for a French readership. The pictures are a leather binding with a gilt wreathed armorial medallion, a title page with a crowned fleur-de-lis shield, and a decorative woodcut initial L filled with foliage, from which a designer could take the gilt emblem and the dense, vine-like woodcut ornament.
