Reiglement pour la leuee des tailles de l'année 1642.

France., France · 1642 · Paris : P. Rocolet, 1642 · 2 pictures

A 1642 French administrative regulation on the collection of the taille, printed in Paris by P. Rocolet and held by the Newberry Library. Its pictures are a title-page woodcut of a crowned armorial cartouche flanked by two putti and a smaller woodcut emblem of a crown over fleurs-de-lis and shields inside a ring of leafy ornament. A designer might take from them the formal, symmetrical heraldic framing typical of 17th-century French royal print, with dense black linework and wreath borders.
