Response au libelle intitulé, Tres-humble, tres-veritable & tres-importante Remonstrance au Roy.
A 1632 French polemical pamphlet, a response to a libel addressed to King Louis XIII, written by Achille Harlay de Sancy and printed in an unnamed place by an unnamed printer. The picture is a decorative typographic ornament, a printer's head-piece or border, rather than an illustration of the text. Its dense black woodcut scrollwork, with leafy tendrils and a central masked or vase-like motif, offers a designer a model for bold ornamental bands, strapwork dividers, and historical border treatments.
