An idea of the perfection of painting: demonstrated from the principles of art, and by examples conformable to the observations, which Pliny and Quintilian have made upon the most celebrated pieces of the antient painters, parallel'd with some works of the most famous modern painters, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Julio Romano, and N. Poussin
A 1668 London treatise on painting by Roland Fréart de Chambray, translated by John Evelyn and printed in the Savoy for Henry Herringman, comparing classical descriptions of ancient painting with works by Leonardo, Raphael, Romano and Poussin. The two pictures are a heraldic achievement with a peacock crest, shield and motto ribbon reading 'Le bon temps vient', and a pair of large decorative initial letters E and A, so a designer might draw on the heraldic shield style or the bold serifed capitals for display typography.
