Le romant des chevaliers de Thrace
A chivalric romance printed in Paris in 1605 by Jean Gesselin and Pierre Faucherand de Mont-Gaillard, dedicated to King Henry IV of France and framed around medieval tournaments and festivals. Its two pictures are historiated initials in black-and-white letterpress, each a decorated capital with foliage, a seated figure with a basket of fruit, and interlaced ornament, offering designers a model for ornamental drop caps and border framing.
