This is a 1568 Florentine festival description, printed in Florence by the Giunti press and written by Giorgio Vasari, recording the decorations of the Baptistery of San Giovanni for a princely christening in the Medici family. The one picture is a woodcut of an ornamental heraldic cartouche, with a shield bearing five roundels and a central figure at the top flanked by two winged, scrolling beasts and a grotesque mask below, a model for decorative framing in printed or carved ornament.
