[Arrests dv Conseil d'estat]
A 1644 Paris printing of council decrees from the French Conseil d'Etat, published by S. Cramoisy and held by the Newberry Library. Its pictures are small woodcut-style royal emblems: a crowned shield with fleurs-de-lis, framed by laurel or foliage and a knotted ribbon at the base, printed in solid black on cream paper. A designer could draw on these bold, compact heraldic seals for crests, monograms, or stamp-like logo marks.
