Insignivm aliqvot virorvm icones
Insignivm aliqvot virorvm icones is a 1559 portrait book printed at Lyon by Jean de Tournes, a collection of ancient figures shown as roundels with inscribed names and titles. The pictures are small woodcut profile busts of ancient philosophers and poets, each framed in a circle with lettering around the rim, offering a designer a compact set of consistent medallion-style frames.
