Heroologia Anglica is a 1620 collection of engraved portraits of notable English and British men of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, printed in Arnhem by Crispijn van de Passe and Jan Janssonius for a learned audience. The pictures are oval-framed bust portraits with Latin captions, showing sitters in ruffs, fur-collared gowns, hats and armour, and a designer might take the oval cartouche and lettered border as a model for period portrait framing.
