Grégoire, Jacques, fl. 1584-89, printer, N. L. D. I, I., N. L. D · 1589 · [S.l.] : Chez Iacques Gregoire imprimeur, M.D. LXXXIX. · 1 picture

A 1589 French political pamphlet printed by Jacques Grégoire, presented as a reply in letter form from a Paris writer to a friend in Blois, addressed to readers of the Wars of the Huguenots and the reign of Henry III. The single picture is a decorative typographic headpiece of interlaced scrollwork above the title, followed by a large historiated initial M opening the text. A designer might take the ornate woodcut border and the big decorated capital as models for early modern letterpress display.
