The volutes create spaces in which branches and foliage are placed. In the center there is a void, where a coat of arms, a plaque or other can be placed more charged than in the taste of Grolier and Maioli, however, he had a binding of this type made at the end of his life, between 1558 and 1565, demonstrating openness to modern taste and experimenting with unusual forms of decoration. to its traditional style. The conventional designation of binding à la fanfare, however, dates back to the last century: in 1829 the bookseller and bibliophile Charles Nodier had the well-known binder Thouvenin bind an example of Jean Presvot's work, Fanfares et courvées abbadesques, printed in Chambéry in 1613."
