This is a 1561 Spanish translation, printed in Lyon by Guillielmo Roville, of Paolo Giovio's Italian dialogue on imprese, the personal emblems and devices used by military men, lovers and noble families, translated by Alonso de Ulloa. The pictures are woodcut emblem frames: oval cartouches with ribbon banners bearing mottoes, set within ornate scrolling borders, each surrounded by heraldic, grotesque or cloud-and-moon decoration. A designer could take from them the oval-and-banner arrangement, the strapwork and scroll borders, and the device format of a central image paired with a short motto.
