Ferrer de Valdecebro, Andrés, 1620-1680, Obregón, Diego de, Villa-Diego, Bernardo, Anisson, Florian · 1683 · En Madrid : En la imprenta de Bernardo de Villa-Diego, a costa de Florian Anisson, familiar y notario del Santo oficio de la Inquisicion · 30 pictures

A 1683 Spanish moral and political treatise printed in Madrid by Bernardo de Villa-Diego for Florian Anisson, using birds as figures for good government and virtue, with Andrés Ferrer de Valdecebro as author. The pictures are small etched bird plates in fine crosshatched line, each showing a single bird in profile on a simple ground, and a designer might borrow their compact vignette format and hatched shading for emblem-style motifs.
