Helicon Boemo-Hercynius : in quo nouem applausibus coronatur neo-rex Boemiae Leopoldvs

Henricus, frater, 17th cent · 1656 · Pragae : [s.n.] · 20 pictures

Helicon Boemo-Hercynius is a 1656 Latin occasional volume printed in Prague, probably by an anonymous printer, celebrating the coronation of Leopold I as King of Bohemia. Its emblematic engravings, with banners, crowns, lions and globes, show the Baroque court taste of the Habsburg monarchy and offer a designer ready examples of heraldic and allegorical imagery arranged in ornamental cartouches.
