A 1610 Paris funeral discourse by the poet and bishop Jean Bertaut, printed by the widow of Abel L'Angelier for mourners of King Henry IV of France. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a historiated initial with stylised foliage and figures, a decorative capital A with acanthus scrolls and a grotesque mask, and a royal crowned cartouche of French fleurs-de-lis and quartered arms in a strapwork wreath, usable as ornamental borders, initials, or heraldic emblems.
