Dritter Theil.
A German-language early modern printed book, its catalogue record giving only the part title Dritter Theil and a contributing library, so the attribution, date and readership are unrecorded. Its four pictures are the same printer's ornament repeated: a cartouche with an eagle, anchor and winged cross beneath a radiating sun and a Latin motto, flanked by foliage scrolls. A designer might take from them the dense symmetrical emblem layout, with a central motif framed by sprigs and curling leaves.
