A 1592 French pamphlet printed in Lyon by Louis Tantillon, recounting the 1591 recapture of the lower town of Carcassonne from Huguenot rebels for Catholic forces under the Duke of Joyeuse. The picture is a large letter M in black woodcut, with a bearded face and foliage scrolling through its strokes, set beside body text, offering a designer a compact model of Renaissance decorative initial letters that combine figure and ornament.
