Discovrs Svr La Comparaison Et Ellection Des Devx partis qui sont pour le iourd'huy en ce Royaume.
A 1586 French political discourse printed at Montauban by Ange Cappel, sieur du Luat, addressed to readers in France on the rival parties of the day, touching on Huguenot affairs. The picture is only a page opening with a large black decorated initial M set within ornamental fleurons and foliage, beside plain roman text in dense columns; a designer could take from it the drama of a heavy historiated capital against light, close-set letterpress.
