The image shows a page from an old printed book. At the top of the page, there is text in French, written in an elegant, old-style font. The text reads:

"Ce présent Livre fut achevé d’imprimer le XXI.jour Doctobre. M.D.XXXII. Par Maistre Geofroy Tory de Bourges, Marchant, Libraire, & Imprimeur du Roy."

This translates to:

"This present book was finished printing on the 21st day of October, 1532, by Master Geofroy Tory of Bourges, Merchant, Bookseller, and Printer of the King."

Below this text, there is an ornate black and white illustration consisting of various elements. At the top of the illustration, there is a crest or shield with three fleurs-de-lis. Underneath the crest, there is a banner with the text "NON PLUS."

Below the banner, the illustration features a vase from which various flowers and a scroll are emerging. There are decorative elements like vines and leaves surrounding the vase. At the base of the illustration, there are two open books and a scroll, with a diagonal arrow crossing through these elements.

The page appears to have some age-related spots and discoloration, indicating it is quite old.

The image appears to be a photograph of an old, possibly historical, printed page, characterized by its off-white, somewhat aged paper and the distinctive aged ink. At the top of the page, there is a block of old French text that reads, "Ce present Livre fut acheue dimprimer le. XXI. iour Doctobre. M. D. XXXII. Par Maistre Geoffroy Tory de Bourges, Marchant, Libraire, & Imprimeur du Roy."

Beneath this text is a rectangular woodcut or engraving that serves as an emblem or mark. The design features a complex arrangement with various elements. At the center, there is a tree-like figure with what appears to be two rampant animals (possibly lions or dogs) on either side, facing the central figure and set against a floriated background. Below this, there is a motto or banner that contains the Latin phrase "NON PLUS," which generally means "no more" or "not further."

The lower portion of the emblem includes a collection of objects that resemble tools or possibly weapons laid out in a symmetrical fashion. There are instruments that look like a T-square and other drafting tools, suggestive of an association with printing, design, or construction.

Overall, the imagery and wording indicate that this page likely comes from a book printed by Geoffroy Tory, a French publisher, bookseller, and printer to the king, and the date noted is October 21, 1532. Geoffroy Tory was known for his contribution to French typography and printing, and this page could be from one of his works or associated with his printing shop. The emblem is likely his printer's device or mark.

This is a printer's mark or colophon from a French book dated October 21, 1532. At the top of the page is text in French stating that the book was printed by Maistre Geofroy Tory of Bourges, who was a merchant, bookseller, and Royal Printer.

Below the text are two decorative emblems:

  • The upper emblem shows a shield with fleur-de-lis design flanked by decorative elements
  • The lower emblem is more elaborate, featuring a decorative urn or vessel with crossed tools/implements and the text "NON PLVS" (meaning "no more" or "nothing further" in Latin)

The overall design is executed in a woodcut or engraved style typical of 16th century French printing. The page shows some age-related discoloration but is otherwise well-preserved. This mark was likely used as Tory's printer's device to identify works from his press, as was common practice during this period.
