A 1585 printed declaration issued by Henry of Navarre, probably written by Philippe de Mornay and printed at La Rochelle by Pierre Haultin, addressed to the French public against the Catholic League. The one picture is a historiated initial L in a square frame of scrolling foliage, cartouche, and two grotesque caryatid figures flanking a hanging drapery, set beside dense black-letter text; a designer could borrow its symmetrical strapwork and framed-capital arrangement for ornamental initials.
