A 1679 Venetian folio by Giovanni Palazzi, Arnold van Westerhout and Andreas Poleti, tracing the Austrian Habsburg emperors from Albert II to Ferdinand III through engraved portraits, coins and medals for an educated audience of princes and scholars. Its pages are crowded with circular and diamond-framed roundels showing emperors' busts, allegorical emblems, coins and heraldic shields, which suggest a designer could borrow the layout of framed medallion clusters, engraved portrait busts and emblematic devices.
