Argo-nauta Batavus is a 1629 Latin account of a Dutch naval expedition led by Piet Heyn, printed at Campen by Petrus Henricus Wyringanus and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The two pictures are heraldic devices, one showing a castle on a shield flanked by rampant lions holding flags, the other a shield with a chevron, three small charges and a banner reading Gaudeo, both drawn in plain woodcut or engraved line. A designer might take from them the balanced supporter-and-shield layout and the simple emblematic vocabulary of early modern printed armorial marks.

Heyn, Piet, 1577-1629
