Remonstrances dv clerge de France,
A 1580 French printed book of remonstrances presented by the clergy of France to the king, with authors Arnauld de Pontac and Nicolas Langelier, held by the Newberry Library. Its pictures are typographic ornaments: two identical black strapwork cartouches with scrolls, fleurons and interlaced foliage, and a large decorated initial S with a star-shaped rosette and leafy border beside the text. A designer could draw on these for interlace borders, cartouche frames, or historic drop caps.
