A 1665 Roman printed account of the ceremonies and decorations at St Peter's Basilica for the canonization of Saint Francis de Sales, issued by Giacomo Dragondelli and sold through Bartolomeo Lupardi, with the event recorded for Pope Alexander VII's court and the Catholic public. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a decorated initial letter with foliage and grotesque figures, and a heraldic coat of arms with a crown, mantling and shields, which a designer could use as a model for ornamental capitals, frames and emblematic borders.
