A 1696 Latin catalogue issued by the Kunstkammeret, the royal art and curiosity collection in Copenhagen, printed in Hafniae for the Danish crown to list its natural and artificial treasures. The plates show engraved coins and medals in grey-toned ranks, with portrait busts, ships, heraldic shields with crowns, and animals such as an elephant. A designer could draw on the orderly grids of numbered roundels and the crisp baroque heraldry for seals, emblems, or period-styled labels.
