[Arrests dv Conseil d'estat]
A 1645 Paris printing of royal Council of State decrees, issued by the French Conseil d'Etat and printed by S. Cramoisy for administrative and legal use. The picture is a text-only certification line, a printed attestation certifying the copy was collated against the originals by a councillor secretary of the King's finances, set in a large roman typeface with centred lines. A designer might take from it the rhythm of a centred seventeenth-century title block and its generous spacing, though it shows no figurative imagery.
