Anastasis Childerici I. Francorum regis, siue, Thesaurus sepulchralis Tornaci Neruiorum effossus, & commentario illustratus
A 1655 antiquarian study by Jean-Jacques Chifflet, printed at the Plantin press in Antwerp, documenting the sepulchral treasure found at Tournai and the tomb of the Frankish king Childeric I for scholars of early history. The pictures are small woodcut and engraved ornaments, including heraldic cartouches with scrolls, winged putti and fruit swags, plus a plate of emblems and shields showing how antiquarian plates arranged evidence. A designer could take the symmetrical heart-shaped cartouches and winged cherubs as Baroque-era ornament models.
