Nivelle, Nicolas, 1556-1594, printer, Thierry, Rolin, d. 1623, printer · 1589 · Paris : N. Nivelle et R. Thierry, 1589 · 2 pictures

A French religious pamphlet printed in Paris in 1589 by Nicolas Nivelle and Rolin Thierry, addressed to Catholic readers in the wake of the League's conflicts. The two pictures are woodcut printers' ornaments: a black-on-cream strapwork and foliage tailpiece, and a historiated initial L with a lion and a leaping deer among vines. A designer might take from them the dense interlace of 16th-century French woodcut borders and the way a figure can sit inside a capital letter.
