Colomby, François de Cauvigny, sieur de, 1588?-1648? · 1606 · A Paris : Par Estienne Prevostev · 2 pictures

A 1606 French discourse by François de Cauvigny, sieur de Colomby, printed in Paris by Estienne Prevosteau and addressed to the King before a military campaign against Sedan. The two pictures are heraldic devices: a crowned coat of arms with supporters and motto ribbons, and a French royal shield with fleur-de-lis and a second shield inside a laurel and chain frame under a crown. Designers can take from them the formal symmetry of armorial emblems, with crowns, ribbons, and framed shields arranged around a central escutcheon.
