1591 · A Paris : Par Frederic Morel... · 5 pictures

A French pamphlet printed in Paris in 1591, a Catholic letter-report on Henry of Navarre's attempted seizure of the city, with its title page and typographic ornaments from the Frederic Morel press. The pictures are woodcut and engraved printers' ornaments: grotesque scrollwork friezes with beasts, a mask, and a large decorated initial M, plus a crowned title-page border with fleur-de-lis and heraldic columns, all useful for classical strapwork and Renaissance border ideas.
