Colloquium trium principum Wormatiae habitum de hodierno eorum statu ... : eylfertiger und scharpffwitziger Rathschluss dreyer Fürsten, wie sie ihren bawfelligen Statum auss der Cassa der Bawern zwischen den Mawren unterstützen möchten
A 1621 German satirical pamphlet, published by an unidentified press and held by the ZB Zürich library, written as a mock council of three princes discussing their ruined state. The single picture is a dark ornamental panel of scrolled foliage and curls set on a diamond, printed on a pale tan page. A designer could take from it a dense symmetrical scroll motif suited to borders, wrought-iron patterns, or tattoo-like filigree.
