De l'oeil des Rois et de la ivstice. Remonstrance faite en la ville de Bordeaux à l'ouuerture de la Cour de Iustice enuoyee par le Roy en ses païs & Duché de Guienne.
A 1584 Paris printed legal remonstrance by Antoine Loisel, issued by printer Robert Le Mangnier, addressing the royal law court at Bordeaux for the Guienne region. The two woodcuts are small decorative devices: an oval cartouche of fruit swags around a monogram with a Psalm 64 inscription, and a large initial N framing a woman who balances a round dish on her head beside grotesque beasts and a bird amid foliage. A designer could draw on their dense, lively line work for cartouches, ornamental initials and framed monograms.
