Harangve faicte de la part de la Chambre Ecclesiastiqve : En celle du Tiers estat, sur l'article du serment
A printed French oration of 1615 by Jacques Davy Du Perron, issued in Paris by Antoine Estienne, addressed to the Third Estate on the question of the oath of allegiance. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: a large initial M and a smaller initial L in ornate scrollwork, a frieze of masks and animals, and a vignette of a tree with a figure, a reclining animal, and a motto banner. A designer could take from them a model for carved-looking capital letters and decorative headpieces suited to historical typography.
