A 1610 French travel description of France's celebrated cities and notable places, written by François Desrues and printed in Rouen by David Geuffroy for readers wanting a regional guide to the kingdom. Its pages carry decorated historiated initials with foliage, grotesque faces and ornamental scrollwork, plus a framed woodcut view of a walled town with spires set above a river, which a designer could use for border ornament, drop caps and early modern cityscape motifs.
