Titi Popmae Phrysii De operis servorum liber

Popma, Titus, d. 1620, Frisius, Andreas, -1675 · 1672 · Amstelodami : Apud Andream Frisium · 7 pictures

A Latin treatise on household servants and their duties, written by Titus Popma and published in Amsterdam in 1672 by Andreas Frisius, with a title page and binding ornaments. The pictures show a tooled metal coat of arms on a pale binding, a woodcut fruit-and-foliage cartouche, and an engraved frontispiece of a classical woman and armoured man beside a lettered plinth; a designer might take heraldic crests, fruit garlands, and baroque title-page framing as reference motifs.
