Do sitio de Lisboa.

Vasconcelos, Luís Mendes de, fl. 1608 · 1608 · Impresso em Lisboa, : Na officina de Luys Estupiñad. · 1 picture

Do sitio de Lisboa is a 1608 Portuguese account of the siege of Lisbon, written by Luís Mendes de Vasconcelos and printed in Lisbon at the workshop of Luys Estupiñad. The only picture is an engraved heraldic coat of arms with a crested helmet, scrolling mantling, and a motto ribbon reading GAUDEO, shown as a bookplate-style emblem. A designer could draw on its symmetrical scrolls, acanthus-like foliage, and shield-and-crest layout for ornamental heraldic framing.
