Discours remarquable aduenus a Paris pendant les Estats.
A 1615 printed pamphlet recording the Estates-General assembled in Paris in 1614, issued by an unnamed French printer for a French readership. The two pictures are close-up scans of its text: a decorated initial letter with a historiated ornament opening the Cahier du Tiers-Etat, and a large spaced capital headline in a roman typeface. A designer could take the ornate capital initial and the widely tracked display capitals as models for early modern title typography.
