1620 · A Paris : Chez Pierre Lovys Fevrier, ..., 1620 · 2 pictures

A 1620 Paris polemic printed by Pierre Lovys Fevrier, a refutation of a libel against the Jesuits, dedicated to the memory of Saint Francis Xavier, held by the Newberry Library. The two pictures are a black-on-cream printer's ornament of a central face flanked by foliate scrolls, tassels and pendants, and an opening decorated initial letter E beside a line of dense black-letter type, suggesting how a designer might borrow ornamental borders and historic typefaces.
