A 1574 French pamphlet printed in Paris by Pierre des Hayes, recounting a fire in Venice after ducal election festivities, with an exhortation to the people by a Venetian theologian. The pictures are sixteenth-century woodcut ornaments: a scrolled border, a decorated initial letter, a foliate strapwork band, and a symmetrical cartouche of scrolls and arrows, useful for period decorative borders and framing devices.
