A 1621 Dutch book printed at Mechelen by Hendrick Iaye for the Gilde van St. Jan, a rhetoricians' guild, recording emblems, songs and poems sent in from Brabant, Flanders, Holland and Zeeland for a 1620 festival. The pictures are repeated small woodcut ornaments: a central shield-like panel with scrolled volutes, keyhole-shaped plaque, and crescent moons and dotted bars arranged symmetrically around it. A designer could take from them a model for symmetrical, mirrored border or emblem ornament built from scrolls, crescents and dot-and-bar motifs.
