A royal edict printed in Paris in 1597 by Mamert Patisson, issued by the French crown to set customs duties on goods across the provinces of the kingdom. The single picture is a small woodcut tailpiece or headpiece of a tree with a figure standing beside it, which a designer could take as a compact decorative vignette for a tailpiece or ornamental border in an early modern print style.
