Porticus Serenissimo atque Celsissimo Principi, ac Domino, Domino Augusto, Brunsvvicensium atque Luneburgensium Duci potentissimo, Principum eruditissimo, Domino Clementissimo &c. sacra
A 1646 Nuremberg dedication volume printed by Wolfgang Endter for Duke Rudolf August of Brunswick-Lüneburg, written by Georg Philipp Harsdörffer and framed by engraved architectural title pages. The engravings are crisp, symmetrical black-and-white plates built from receding arcades, tiled floors, and classical statues, offering a designer a model for formal, stage-like frontispiece compositions with framed central openings.
