A French royal sumptuary edict of Henry III, printed at Paris by Fédéric Morel in 1583, regulating excess in dress and published with a parlement ruling for magistrates and officers. The woodcuts are typographic furniture: foliate headpiece bands with masks and grotesque beasts, and criblé initials holding lions, putti and vine scrolls, usable as rules, borders and drop caps.
