Obelisco historico : i honorario, que la Imperial Ciudad de Zaragoza erigio a la inmortal memoria del serenissimo señor don Balthasar Carlos de Austria, principe de Españas
Obelisco historico is a 1646 Spanish funeral book printed in Zaragoza at the Hospital de Nuestra Señora de Gracia by Andrés de Uztarroz, honouring the dead Prince Balthasar Carlos of Spain. The three pictures are small printed ornaments: a dense black filigree cartouche with scrolls and foliage, a slim row of scrolled leaf fleurons, and a modern ex-libris with a Corinthian capital and scroll. A designer could borrow the dark scrolled cartouche as a decorative header or the fleuron row as a divider.
