A 1627 Paris chronology of rulers, popes, ancient fathers, emperors and illustrious men from the creation of the world to 1622, published by Pierre Portier for a learned French readership. Its pages pair dense columns of printed text with framed bust portraits of kings and emperors inside ornamental woodcut borders, showing how a designer might structure a text-and-portrait layout with decorative frames.
