Advertissement a la France
A 1614 printed pamphlet, Advertissement a la France, published without a named place or printer and concerning Henri II de Bourbon, prince de Condé, held by the Boston Public Library. The one picture is a seal-like emblem, not a text page, so the record itself is thin: the image shows a wreath of laurel enclosing a central medallion with two standing figures flanking a book and a lamp, with the words Lux, Omnium and Civium and a Boston inscription dated 1852-1873 at the base, which suggests a library ex-libris stamp rather than part of the 1614 book. A designer could take the laurel wreath and symmetrical emblem layout as a model for crest or seal design.
