Pelletier, Thomas., Pelletier, Thomas · 1603 · [N.p.], 1603 · 2 pictures

A 1603 French political discourse by Thomas Pelletier, addressed to King James I on his accession to the crowns of England and Ireland, printed with no named publisher and held by the Newberry Library. The two pictures are woodcut typographic ornaments: a large decorated historiated initial S beside the opening words, and a horizontal band of grotesque figures, scrollwork and foliage. A designer could draw on their dense black-line woodcut vocabulary for opening capitals, dividers and chapter-head borders.
