Declaration dv Roy : contre Monsievr le Dvc de Neuers & tous ceux qui l'assistent. Verifiee en Parlement le dixseptiesme Ianuier mil six cens dixsept
A royal declaration issued under Louis XIII of France, printed in Paris in 1617 by Fed. Morel and P. Mettayer and registered in Parliament, directed against the Duc de Nevers and his supporters and aimed at a French readership. The single picture is a printer's ornament: a crowned oval cartouche with a shield of fleurs-de-lis and a sprig of leaves, framed by a dotted, stippled border, offering a compact emblem a designer could adapt for a heraldic seal or badge.
