A 1627 French festival book printed at Pont-à-Mousson by Jean Appier Hanzelet and Jean Bernard, recording the ceremonial entry of the Duchess of La Valette into Metz and the civic celebrations the city's inhabitants staged for it. The pictures are engraved architectural designs: a triumphal structure with columns and an arched gateway flanked by statued piers, and a decorative cartouche with scrolls and grotesque figures. A designer could draw on their balanced classical architecture, ornamental scrollwork, and figure-filled panels for period framing or ornament.
