Libro primo della historia de l'Indie Occidentali
Libro primo della historia de l'Indie Occidentali is an Italian-language account of the Western Indies by Pietro Martire d'Anghiera, printed in Venice in 1534 by A. Pincio for a readership interested in New World discovery. The one picture is an engraved coat of arms with a crest of a bird-like figure above a shield bearing three small chevron-arranged figures and a banner inscribed 'GAUDEO', framed by scrolling mantling, offering a designer a dense example of heraldic symmetry and ornamental scrollwork.
