Difesa della nobilta napoletana
A 1655 Roman printed treatise by Carlo Borrelli and Ferdinando Ughelli defending Neapolitan nobility, its pages carrying small woodcut coats of arms for noble families. The four shields show heraldic designs: a black double-headed eagle on a diagonal band, a zigzag of triangles on a bend, a lion above chevrons, and two rampant lions beside a chevron. A designer could draw on their bold silhouette shapes, strong black-and-white contrast, and the decorative logic of diagonal bands and chevrons.
