Instrvction en la science de perspective
A 1625 perspective instruction book printed at The Hague, by Hendrik Hondius (born 1573), for students of drawing and architecture. The single picture is an engraved bookplate-style frame: a shield with a central boss and checkered quarters, set within scrolled cartouche ornament and a lettered label at the foot. A designer could take its symmetrical scrollwork and heraldic shield layout as a model for framing a title or emblem.
