Ein schön lustig Reissbuch is a 1612 German travel and naval account by Johann von Leubelfing, printed at Ulm by Johann Meder, describing a Dutch fleet's voyages against Spanish islands and the West Indies. The single picture is an engraved heraldic achievement, a shield with three figures and a chevron above a banner inscribed with a name, framed by scrolling foliage and a crested helmet. A designer could draw on its symmetrical, ornamental cartouche and crest framing as a model for emblem or seal layouts.
