Canaye, Philippe, sieur de Fresne, 1551-1610 · 1597 · Montauban, D. Haultin · 8 pictures

A 1597 French legal volume of remonstrances and speeches by Philippe Canaye, sieur de Fresne, delivered at the Chamber of the Edict in Castres for the Parlement of Toulouse, printed in Montauban by D. Haultin. The pictures are printer's ornaments: a large decorated initial letter in scrollwork, a symmetrical strapwork panel, and a framed capital I set within dense arabesque borders, which suggest period-appropriate modular frame and initial-letter designs for historical display typography.
