Philippi RubenI Electorum libri II : in quibus antiqui ritus, emendationes, censurae : eiusdem ad Iustum Lipsium poëmatia
Philippe Rubens's 1608 Latin scholarly work on antiquities and emendations, printed by the Plantin office in Antwerp for a learned readership of classical scholars. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a caryatid-like figure flanked by goat-headed masks and seated cats, a veiled female bust with tassels, and an oval emblem with a compass and the motto LABORE ET CONSTANTIA, useful to designers wanting Renaissance decorative borders and symmetrical cartouches.
