Histoire du gouvernement de Venise
Histoire du gouvernement de Venise is a 1676 French political history of Venice by Abraham-Nicolas Amelot de La Houssaie, printed in Paris by Frederic Leonard for a readership of royal and clerical officials. Its pictures are small square decorative initial letters, each a capital L framed in a different ornamental border of interlace, diamonds and dotted rules, which a designer could draw on for border and initial-cap patterns.
