Declaration du Roy, sur la sortie de la Reine sa Mere & de Monseigneur son Frere, hors le Royaume : verifiée en Parlement le treiziéme iour d'aoust mil six cens trente-vn
A royal declaration issued by Louis XIII of France in 1631, printed in Paris by Antoine Estienne, Pierre Mettayer and Claude Prevost for the Parlement and the public, concerning the departure of the queen mother Marie de Médicis and Gaston, duc d'Orléans, from the kingdom. The only picture is a Boston Public Library bookplate: an oval seal of two nude figures flanking a shield and a book, inside a laurel wreath, lettered 'Trustees of the Public Library' and 'Of the City of Boston 1852-1878'. A designer might borrow its symmetrical laurel frame and classical seal structure for an emblem or label.
