Vincior hac Vincoque
An engraved headpiece to the fourth, tenth, and sixteenth books of Moyne's epic, "Saint Louys," depicting a royal crown decorated with a crown of thorns, sitting atop a cushion on a table decorated with fleur-de-lis. Four monsters with human faces, lion's paws, snake's tails, and wings flank the crown and above the scene is a banner with the Latin motto, "Vincior hac Vincoque" (that which is bound here also conquers).
