This 1533 German pamphlet, printed in an unnamed place, purports to report an embassy from Prester John, king David of Ethiopia, heard before Pope Clement VII at Bologna. The one picture is a bookplate of the John Carter Brown Library, showing a lion above a shield with crossed diagonal stripes and roses, and the motto 'Auctor Pretiosa Facit' on a ribbon, with a handwritten monogram over it. A designer might take from it a heraldic emblem structure: a crest above a diagonally divided shield framed by scrolling ornament and a motto banner.
