Le Pantheon Hvgvenot découuert et ruiné contre l'aucteur de l'Idolatrie papistique, Ministre de Vauuert, cy deuant d'Aigues mortes
A polemical religious treatise by Louis Richeome, a Jesuit writer, printed in Lyon by Pierre Rigaud in 1610 and aimed at Huguenot readers opposing Catholic image worship. The four pictures are repeated woodcut initial letters, each an I set inside a dense frame of scrolling foliage, interlace and curled acanthus-like ornament in black on cream. A designer could take from them the tight, symmetrical border strategy of early modern printed initials for framing a single capital.
