A 1616 German account by Johann August Assum of a christening celebration for a young Duke of Württemberg, printed for the court and nobility and catalogued under Italian festival and funeral literature. The two pictures are small woodcut ornamental headpieces and tailpieces, dense with interlaced scrollwork, foliage and pierced cartouches in black on a plain page. A designer could draw on them for border, divider or cartouche motifs in early-modern ornament.
