Ornamental Title-Page with Printer's Mark of Claude Servain 1567

Editor: So this is an ornamental title-page, showcasing the printer's mark of Claude Servain. It's from 1567 and made by an anonymous artist. The lion really jumps out at me! What do you see in this elaborate design? Curator: Oh, it's a delicious visual feast, isn’t it? I find myself drawn to the cherubs perched on top. They're whimsical observers of the heraldic drama below, like mischievous stagehands in a grand play. What do you make of the lion's posture? Editor: He seems ready to leap! Is that meant to convey something about the printer, like his ambition? Curator: Perhaps! Or maybe it's a nod to courage, a roaring endorsement of the knowledge contained within. Ultimately, it's a mystery, isn’t it? Editor: A roaring, cherubic mystery! I love how much we can read into something so small.
