A 1589 Paris polemical pamphlet printed by Guillaume Chaudière, justifying the Catholic League's war under the Duke of Mayenne against Huguenots and political opponents, written for a French Catholic readership. Its single picture is a circular printer's device with a winged, bearded figure grasping a long staff over a serpent-like coil, bordered by Latin lettering, a motif a designer could adapt for emblematic or heraldic seals.
