Erection de l'office dv recepvevr general de tous les exploictz & amendes, tant de la court de Parlement, que de tous les sieges presidiaulx, estans du ressort d'icelle.
A 1552 royal edict printed in Paris by Jean Canivet, issued by the French crown to create an office for collecting fines and court penalties across the Parlement and presidial courts. The two pictures are a shield-and-crown royal emblem with a fleur-de-lis field framed by a garland, and a large ornamental woodcut initial E with scrolling foliage beside black-letter text, showing how sixteenth-century French printers combined heraldry, decorated capitals and dense type on one page.
