A destruiçam de Espanha, restauraçam summaria da mesma
A Portuguese political tract printed in Lisbon in 1671 by Antonio Craesbeeck de Mello, written by André da Silva Mascarenhas about the fall and restoration of Spain for a reading public of the period. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a sun-faced cartouche with a phoenix in flames bearing the motto UT VIVAT, a symmetrical scrolled armorial frame, and a winged cherub head, useful to designers for seventeenth-century border and vignette motifs.
