A 1645 heraldry book printed at the Plantin press in Antwerp by Balthasar Moretus, text by Jules Chifflet, for the Tassis (Thurn und Taxis) noble family to display its honorific marks and coats of arms. The pictures are engraved armorial shields with crowns, cherubs, tassels and scrollwork, showing how baroque cartouches frame heraldic symbols such as eagles and boars, useful for ornamental border and emblem design.
