A French emblem book of 1646, printed in Paris by Louys Sevestre, in which Marin Le Roy de Gomberville reworked Otto van Veen's Horatian emblems, engraved by Pierre Daret, into a hundred moral pictures and discourses addressed to the young king and to youth generally. Alongside the copperplate emblems sit repeated woodcut initials: a heavy roman V framed by leafy branches, birds, a helmeted soldier with raised sword and a pikeman, useful as ready-made decorated capitals and as small figure-and-foliage vignettes.
