Manifeste de ce qui se passa dernierement aux Estats generaux, entre le clerge & le Tiers Estat.

France. Etats généraux (1614), France. Conseil d'Etat · 1615 · [n.p.], 1615 · 2 pictures

This is a 1615 French printed manifesto, published without a named publisher, recording the disputes between the clergy and the Third Estate at the Estates General, aimed at a political readership. The two pictures are typeset pages rather than illustrations: one shows a decorative woodcut ornament band above a large capitalised title, the other a historiated initial C beside dense running text, which a designer might take from for letterpress headers, drop caps and ornamental borders.

Mettayer, Pierre, d. 1639
