Nederlandtsche herault, of, Adelik toneel zijnde een historische beschrijvinge, van allerley trappen van adeldom : alsmede van alderhande wapen-schilden, in koninckrijcken, gemeene-besten, steden en volkeren, van oude tijden af, tot dese eeuw toe in gebruyk geweest zijnde
A 1672 Dutch heraldry treatise by Thomas de Rouck, printed at Amsterdam by Jacob Volckertsz, surveying noble ranks and coats of arms of kingdoms, states, cities and peoples from ancient times to its day. The pictures are plain woodcut shields with blank fields, crowns, wreaths and a cross, and a designer might borrow their simple heraldic framing and crown-and-wreath arrangements for emblem or crest work.
