Edict dv Roy svr la pacification des troubles de ce royaume.
A 1573 royal edict printed in Paris by Frédéric Morel, a printer and publisher, issued by the French crown to set terms for pacifying the kingdom's civil strife, and held today by the Newberry Library. The three pictures are printer's ornaments: a shield of three fleurs-de-lis under a crown framed by scrollwork, a four-lobed cartouche of interlaced foliage, and a tree with Greek-lettered ribbons; a designer could draw on their heraldic and strapwork vocabulary for emblem-style marks.
