A 1681 libretto printed in Paris by Christophe Ballard, printer to the king for music, for the ballet performed before Louis XIV at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, with music by Lully and verse by Benserade and Quinault. The pictures are ornamental printed headpieces and panels: fleurs-de-lis, crowns, garlands, ribbons and classical figures in engraved borders, with a carved ceiling panel. A designer could draw on their symmetrical, emblem-based layouts for courtly borders and cartouches.
