Beauxamis, Thomas,1524-1589., Beauxamis, Thomas, 1524-1589, Chaudière, Guillaume, d. 1601 · 1585 · Paris : G. Chaudiere, 1585 · 3 pictures

A 1585 Paris political tract printed by G. Chaudière, written by Thomas Beauxamis, arguing in French that subjects may never rebel against their prince or king, supported by Scripture. The three pictures are small printed ornaments: a winged satyr-like figure with a staff inside a scrolled cartouche with lettering, a large decorated initial M with a grotesque head and foliage, and a symmetrical scrolling arabesque. A designer could take from them the dense woodcut look of sixteenth-century French typography, with cartouches, historiated capitals and flourished ornament.
