Manifeste et declaration de la noblesse de Prouence contenant les causes qui l'ont meuë de prendre les armes contre le Sieur d'Espernon.
A 1595 French political manifesto issued by the Provençal nobility, with no named publisher, setting out their reasons for taking up arms against the Duke of Épernon. The single picture is a text page opening with a large ornate woodcut initial P (the first letter of the opening word, E-S-T-, shown as a decorated capital) followed by dense black-letter type in roman face with a letterspaced small-capital line, set in a tight justified column. A designer might take from it the strong contrast of an ornamental initial against plain dense text, and the rhythm of a justified early-modern page.
