Le vray fidelle Catholiqve francois : sur la declaration du Roy, contre Monsieur le Prince
A 1615 French Catholic polemic printed in Paris by Isaac Mesnier, addressed to readers opposing the king's declaration against the Prince de Condé. Its single picture is a woodcut emblem: an oval border lettered with a Latin motto from Ovid around a phoenix-like bird perched on a rock by a river with towers in the distance. A designer might take the oval lettered frame and the bird-on-rock emblem as a compact model for a seal, badge or bookplate.
