This is a 1688 book cover by Denis de Sainte-Marthe, a French artist known for his book illustrations and designs. The cover is a red leather binding with gold embellishments. In the center, a gold shield bearing a crowned lion is framed by laurel branches and bows. The ornate design of the cover is typical of the time period, often featuring coats of arms or other symbols of status. This specific design may represent the book’s content, which is a defense of the French monarchy’s response to Protestant complaints of persecution. The book, entitled Réponse aux plaintes des protestans touchant la prétendue persecution de France, is a rare example of French binding from the late 17th century, and it's currently held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
