Les plaintes des protestans, cruellement opprimez dans le royaume de France
A 1686 French Protestant polemic by Jean Claude, printed in Cologne by P. Marteau for Huguenot readers, concerning the persecution of Protestants in France. The pictures are small black-and-white letterpress decorations: a woodcut-style floral cluster of stylized blossoms and leaves above a large ornamental initial L with dense scrolling foliage, useful for designers seeking historical tailpiece and capital-letter motifs.
