In the same way, 14 letterheads, also enhanced, are repeated in the work; 13 letterheads show the letter A (gilt) for Anne with the crowned eagle on a blue background and 1 letterhead shows the letter M (gilt) for Madame with the crowned eagle and two floral representations.

He became a specialist in dedicatory epistles and made them his sole source of income (Banderier) and responded to criticism by saying ‘I am always in a hurry, when it comes to earning money; and I prefer the pistoles that make me live comfortably, to the chimera of a vain glory that would leave me miserable.’ (Banderier). Above all, Puget de la Serre's attention to detail was crucial to his illustrations, from portraits - his preferred mode of representation - to lettering, vignettes, headbands, frontispieces and even the text itself, which he often set off with a line of red or black ink - in this case gilded (Meyer).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine restorations to corners and spine, paper restorations to pages 9 and 19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-justify para-style-body\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKokkomelis,\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLes portraits au service des grands : Jean Puget de la Serre et les temps multiples de l'exemplification historique\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e, 385-400, dans : Papers on French Seventeenth Century Literature, XLV, n°89, 2018 ;
