A Paris printed in 1589 by Pierre Mercier, this French pamphlet by Pierre Vossot defends the reputation of two Catholic princes, Cardinal Louis of Lorraine and Duke Henry of Guise, slain in the religious wars. The only picture is the Newberry Library's oval bookplate, a bust of a bearded man on a pedestal framed by lettering, so a designer gains little beyond a classical-revival seal motif.
