In May 1514 the Royal Chancery of Louis XII granted du Pré the privilege of exclusive rights. This was confirmed in 1515 by Francis I.[1]

Galliot du Pré's imprint device featured a ship with an angel blowing a trumpet, which issues the words "Vogue la Guallee" (or sometimes "la galee").[2] The ship is a galiot, likely serving as a visual pun based on du Pré's first name.[3]
