1672 · Franckfurt am Mayn : In Verlegung Matthæi Merians Seel. Erben : Gedruckt bey Blasius Ilssnern · 1 picture

This 1672 index to Martin Zeiller's topographies was issued in Frankfurt am Main by the heirs of Matthäus Merian and printed by Blasius Ilsner, serving German-speaking readers consulting place-name references for Europe. Its single picture is a woodcut title-style cartouche framed by scrolled ornament and two putti with fruit garlands, enclosing a stork-like wading bird in a reedy landscape with a Latin motto. A designer could draw on its symmetrical strapwork, putti supporters and emblematic border for heraldic or bookplate-style framing.
