1603 · En Madrid : Por Luis Sanchez · 36 pictures

A 1603 funeral book printed in Madrid by Luis Sanchez for the Jesuit college there, commemorating Empress Maria of Austria, its founder. Its pages carry framed emblematic devices with Spanish verse mottoes and a decorative initial, all in black letterpress on cream paper. A designer could draw on the compact framed emblem layouts, the scrolled banners with Latin inscriptions, and the eagle and crown motifs as models for heraldic or label-style framing.
