Declaration du Roy svr l'entretenement de l'Edict de pacification faict au mois de Septembre dernier: auec l'estat des cõpaignies de gens de pied que sa Majesté retient à son seruice, enioignant aux autres se retirer en leurs maisons.
A 1578 royal declaration of King Henry III of France, printed in Paris by Frédéric Morel, setting out terms to keep the Edict of Pacification and listing infantry companies retained in royal service. The single picture is a printer's device: a leafy tree with a Greek motto unrolled in ribbons around its trunk, the lettering set into the scrolls. A designer might take from it a compact emblem layout where text rides on curling banners wrapped around a central motif.
