Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, Gonzalo, 1478-1557 · 1557 · En Ualladolid. : Por Francisco Fernandez de Cordoua Impressor de Su Magestad. · 1 picture

A 1557 Spanish chronicle of New World exploration by Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés, printed in Valladolid by Francisco Fernández de Córdoba for the Spanish crown. The picture is a heraldic coat of arms, a shield with three figures in a chevron above a scroll inscribed GAUDEO, under a crested helm and scrolling mantling. A designer might take its engraved armorial framing, with its acanthus-like scrollwork and banner, as a model for crests and shield layouts.
