Curieuse und vollständige Reiß-Beschreibung von gantz Italien ... worinnen der gegenwärtige Zustand nicht allein des päbstlichen Hofs, sondern auch anderer Höfen, Republiquen und Städten in Italien beschrieben ... wird
A 1701 German travel guide by Heinrich von Huyssen describing the current state of Italy's papal court, other courts, republics and cities, held by Heidelberg University Library. The pictures are engraved headpieces, a title-page architectural frame with coats of arms, and a dedicatory cartouche with allegorical figures, all in dense Baroque and Renaissance ornament. A designer could take from them the symmetrical cartouche layouts, heraldic shields and scrollwork that suit antique-styled borders and frames.
