Lettre du Roy, envoyee aux provinces : auec celle de Monsieur au Roy, & la response du Roy à Monsieur
A 1631 French royal letter printed in Paris by Jean Martin, issued by Louis XIII and his brother Gaston, duc d'Orléans, and held by the Boston Public Library. The four pictures are small decorative printer's initials, three of them historiated letters (a stylized E with a vase and foliage, an M among leafy scrolls, a C with a star) and one library ownership seal with laurel wreath and Latin motto, so a designer might borrow the framed initial-letter forms and the dense black-and-cream ornament.
