Edict dv Roy, portant creation en tiltre d'office formé d'vn greffier triannal & trois maistres clercs hereditaires en chacun grenier à sel de ce royaume.
A 1623 royal edict printed in Paris by F. Morel and P. Mettayer, issued by the French crown and addressed to the salt-store offices of the kingdom, as recorded by the Newberry Library. Its single picture is a large woodcut initial letter I, with the body of the letter filled by a dense tangle of foliage and grotesque figures, and the lettering beside it set in a heavy roman face. A designer might take from it the way a decorated capital can anchor a text block, with ornament packed tightly inside a letterform.
