Ferrer de Valdecebro, Andrés, 1620-1680 · 1696 · En Barcelona, : En casa de Cormellas, por Thomàs Loriente impressor, · 47 pictures

A 1696 Spanish natural-history and moral treatise printed in Barcelona by Thomàs Loriente for the Cormellas house, written by Andrés Ferrer de Valdecebro and concerned with noble birds and their virtues. The pictures are small woodcut tailpieces and headpieces: a bird perched on a scrolled pedestal, a flourished acanthus-scroll panel with putti, and a basket of fruit held by cherubs, all in rough black relief on aged paper, useful for compact decorative borders, dividers and vignettes with a baroque, bestiary character.
