Les principavx poincts de la foy de l'eglise catholiqve : Defendvs contres l'escrit addressé au roy par les quatre Ministres de Charenton
A 1630 French Catholic polemic printed in Rouen by I. de la Mare, written by Cardinal Richelieu in defence of Church doctrine against Huguenot ministers of Charenton, aimed at a literate Catholic readership. The pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, each a single letter framed by foliage, scrolls and a face, with dense black line work on a pale ground that a designer could borrow for ornamental capitals.
