Motets pour la chapelle du Roy, mis en musique, par Monsieur Du Mont abbé de Silly, & maistre de la musique, de ladite chapelle. Dessus du petit choeur.
A 1686 Paris printed collection of motets by Henry Du Mont, published by Christophe Ballard for the royal chapel's treble choir. The pictures are two pages of engraved music notation, each opening with a large ornamental historiated initial letter in a flowing foliate frame. A designer could draw on the decorative capitals and the dense, evenly spaced staff lines and note heads as a source of ordered, historical typographic texture.
