Angoulême, Charles de Valois, duc d', 1573-1650, Bineau, Jacques, fl 1667 · 1696 · Paris : Michel Brunet · 2 pictures

A 1696 Paris printing by Michel Brunet of memoirs by the duc d'Angoulême on the reigns of Henri III and Henri IV of France, held by the University of Ottawa and written for readers of French court history. The two small woodcut ornaments show a leafy scroll with a central bud above a scalloped base, and a flower-filled footed urn with grapes and handles, cut in a bold black-and-white manner that suggests ready-made decorative tailpieces and vignettes for headers, dividers, or period-style borders.
