Les lettres d'Estienne Pasquier, Conseiller & Advocat General du Roy à Paris : contenans plusieurs belles matieres & discours sur les affaires d'Estat de France, & touchant les guerres civiles
A 1619 French letter collection by the jurist Etienne Pasquier, published in Paris by L. Sonnius, gathering his letters on state affairs and the civil wars for a learned readership. The four pictures are printer's ornaments: a grotesque mask framed by scrolling foliage and flowers, and two horizontal friezes of scrolls, masks and small figures, all in dense woodcut line that suits decorative borders, panels and vintage typographic frames.
