content: The first of five printed leaves of text and privilège, within ornamental borders. The signed headpiece depicts a nude male figure holding a hammer, with one arm resting on an oval portrait of King Stanislas Leszczynski. At his feet are tools associated with blacksmithing and ironwork, a Corinthian capital and arms and armor. To his right above him, is the winged female figure of victory. Behind them to the right, a building and gates with the French Royal coat of arms. To their left, are nude male figures working iron on an anvil with hammers and a forge with smoke, within a cave-like settling. The text begins with an illuminated initial and is divided into two columns.
