Reutter, Georg, fl. 1611-1612 · 1611 · Gedruckt zu Breslaw : Durch Georgium Bawman · 3 pictures

A 1611 German-language dialogue printed at Breslau by Georg Bawman, written by Georg Reutter, describing and illustrating the royal triumphal gate raised for Matthias II's ceremonial entry. The pictures are letterpress, not engraved scenes: a decorative black-letter headline with ornate fleuron borders, a crowned monogram with a curled-leaf frame, and an interlaced strapwork band. A designer could draw on the dense knotwork bands and the crowned cipher for period-style borders and monograms.
