[Arrests de la Covr des monnoyes]
A 1646 Paris legal record printed by S. Cramoisy, issuing the arrêts of the Cour des monnaies, the French court overseeing coinage and minting, and addressed to its judges, officials and the trade it regulated. Its pictures are printer's ornaments: a decorated initial S set among foliage and figures, and a royal arms cartouche with fleurs-de-lis, a crown and a laurel-and-mantle surround, repeated in several versions. A designer could take from them the dense, woodcut-like texture of 17th-century French book ornament and the heraldic cartouche framing.
