A 1642 Spanish legal memorial by jurist Juan de Solórzano Pereira, printed in Madrid by Francisco Martinez, arguing for the rights and honours owed to honorary and retired royal councillors. The single picture is a woodcut coat of arms with a crown above a shield quartered with bands and a heraldic lion, framed by scrolling mantling and tassels. A designer might take from it the dense, slightly rough texture of early letterpress woodcut ornament and the symmetrical, crest-and-mantle layout typical of armorial emblems.
