Germaniae ex variis scriptoribus perbreuis explicatio.
A 1530 Latin description of Germany compiled by the Nuremberg humanist Willibald Pirckheimer and printed in Augsburg by Heinrich Steiner for scholarly readers. The first picture is a banner-bearing griffin-like beast above a striped plinth, and the title page of the second is framed by a dense woodcut border of a skull, cherubs and scrollwork set around a large letterpress title, offering a designer a model for a bordered title page with mixed type and ornament.
