A 1574 French history published in Paris by Guillaume Chaudière, written by Arnaud Sorbin as a biography of King Charles IX of France and addressed to the court and a royal readership. Its two pictures are decorated woodcut initials: an ornate S with a putto amid foliage and scrollwork, and a C framing a figure standing among reeds and leaves, both set in black letter type with the text running beside them, offering a designer historical ornament with strong interlace borders and figure-in-foliage motifs.
