Déclaration du roy [Louis XIII], portant attribution en hérédité de trois deniers pour livre aux controlleurs des élections, vérifiée en la chambre des Comptes, le dixième jour de février 1631

1631 · A Paris : par A. Estiene : P. Mettayer & C. Prevost · 1 picture

This is a 1631 royal declaration of Louis XIII printed in Paris by A. Estiene, P. Mettayer and C. Prevost, setting out a hereditary levy for tax controllers and held by the Boston Public Library. The only picture is a bookplate-style engraving of a laurel wreath enclosing two classical male figures flanking an open book, with the Boston Public Library's inscription and 1852-1878 dates, so a designer might borrow its symmetrical wreath framing and balanced allegorical composition.
