The royal politician represented in one hundred emblems
The royal politician represented in one hundred emblems is a 1700 London emblem book, printed for M. Gylliflower and L. Meredith, that pairs Latin mottoes with engraved vignettes to teach rulers statecraft; its author is Diego de Saavedra Fajardo, with English rendering by James Astry. Each emblem sits in a scrolled cartouche framed by Baroque ornament, showing a shell, a serpent, a hand holding a sceptre over a globe, and a landscape, a designer can borrow the cartouche frames and the emblematic devices for symbolic title or border work.
