V. Livre des libertez d'André de Rosiers sieur de Beaulieu.
A 1654 Paris music book by André de Rosiers, sieur de Beaulieu, printed by Robert Ballard, collecting French chansons for singers and lute or viol players. The first picture is a large decorated initial M with cherubs, scrolls and foliage, while the second shows a printed page of a chanson with staff notation, a historiated opening N and lyrics set below the music. A designer could take the ornamental capital and the dense, clean music-type layout as models for period typography and border work.
