This 1551 Lyon edition of Pomponius Mela's geography, the De situ orbis, carries notes by the French-educated humanist Pedro Juan Oliver and was printed by Antonio Vincenti for scholars. Its pictures are small woodcut decorated initial letters with figures and foliage, plus a printer's or owner's heraldic shield with a chevron, scrolls, and a motto banner, offering a designer compact historic ornament: framed capitals, interlaced vine borders, and crested emblem layouts.
