Historia de Portugal restaurado.

Ericeira, Luís de Meneses, Conde da, 1632-1690 · 1679 · Lisboa. : Na Officina de Joaõ Galraõ. · 16 pictures

Historia de Portugal restaurado is a Portuguese history published in Lisbon in 1679 by Luís de Meneses, Conde da Ericeira, printed at the Officina de João Galrão. The pictures are woodcut-style title ornaments of the Portuguese royal arms flanked by scrolling foliage, cartouches and winged figures, all set above the large capital letters of the title. A designer could draw on the symmetrical framing of the arms, the dense acanthus scrolling and the way the heraldic shield anchors a horizontal headpiece.
