A 1646 Latin history of the Netherlands by the Frisian historian Pierius Winsemius, printed in Leeuwarden by Claudius Fontanus for scholars and readers of Frisian and Dutch affairs under Habsburg rule. Its pictures are small printed devices: a round engraved coat of arms with scrolling acanthus, a woodcut ornamental headpiece with a central putto, a grotesque mask ornament closing a book section, and an engraved title page framed by an arch, two standing female figures and town views, offering a designer classic models for heraldic seals, printer's ornaments and architectural title layouts.
