Klare aanwijsinge, dat de Vereenighde Nederlanden, gheen treves met den Vyandt dienen te maecken. : Zijnde het derden deel van't Tractaet tegens peys, treves, ende onderhandelinghe met den Uyandt

unknown · 1630 · In 's Graven-Hage, : By Aert Meuris, boeckverkooper in de Papestraet in den Bybel, · 3 pictures

A 1630 Dutch political pamphlet printed at The Hague by Aert Meuris, arguing against truce talks with Spain during the Eighty Years' War and addressed to the Dutch public. The three pictures are decorative printers' ornaments: an ornate foliate initial I, a horizontal band of interlaced scrollwork, and a central cartouche with two seated putti holding wreaths around a flowering urn. A designer could draw on their dense black-on-cream pen-and-block ornament for borders, initials and emblematic vignettes.
