Copye vande resolutie van de Heeren Burghemeesters ende Raden tot Amsterdam op't stuck vande West-Indische Compagnie. Genomen in August. 1649
A 1649 Dutch printed resolution of the Amsterdam burgomasters and council on the affairs of the West India Company, issued from Utrecht by printer Jan Havick for a Dutch civic and commercial readership. The single picture is a heraldic coat of arms with a crowned crest, a bird, three figures on a chevron, and a motto scroll reading GAUDEO, rendered in dense engraved line and stipple. A designer might take the armorial shield, scrolling acanthus framing, and banner lettering as a model for emblems, seals, or period-styled crests.
