Dialogue françois et bourguignon du recit des rejouissances faites à Dijon pour la naissance de Monseigneur duc de Bourgongne
A 1682 French-language dialogue printed at Dijon by Jean Ressayre, bookseller and printer, by Jean Flory (1634-1692), recounting the public celebrations held there for the birth of the Duke of Burgundy. The first picture is a woodcut historiated initial D with a seated figure and a small standing child, and the second is a row of robed dignitaries and musicians in a ceremonial procession under a fleur-de-lis field. A designer might take from them the compact black-line woodcut letter frame and the formal crowd-and-ceremony rhythm of a civic festival.
