Eva, e Ave, ou, Maria triumphante : theatro da erudiçam, e da philosophia Chrystam os dous estados do mundo : cahido em Eva, e levantado em Ave
Eva, e Ave, ou, Maria triumphante is a 1676 Portuguese religious treatise by António de Sousa de Macedo, printed at Lisbon for Antonio Craesbeeck de Mello, aimed at readers of theology and philosophy. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a face framed by scrolls and grotesque masks repeated in several variants, and a central cartouche with a bird and flower garlands. A designer might take from them the symmetrical scroll-and-mask border and the cartouche framing for decorative headers.
