Ulysses Belgico-Gallicus is a 1631 guidebook by Abraham Gölnitz, printed at the Elzevier office in Leiden for travellers crossing Belgium, Spain, France, Savoy and Piedmont. Its title page frames the text with a crested coat of arms and two costumed figures, a cavalier in a plumed hat and a classical warrior, with a small fire at their feet. The engraving is crisp and formal, a good model for heraldic title pages, emblematic framing and period costume arrangement.
