Des Masures, Louis, 1523?-1574 · 1557 · Lion : Tournes et Gazeau · 1 picture

A 1557 French poetry collection by Louis des Masures, printed in Lyon by Jean de Tournes and Guillaume Gazeau for a general literary readership. Its title page is framed by a dense black-and-white ornamental border of scrollwork, foliage, and grotesque figures above a centred block of roman and italic capitals, offering a designer a model of Renaissance printed page composition.
