A Roman engraved portrait series of cardinals published in 1700 by the de Rubeis press in Rome, drawn largely from earlier Catholic Church biographical collections and intended for church and scholarly readers. Each plate shows a bust-length cardinal in a feigned oval frame, with a Latin inscription panel below and papal and family coats of arms above, so a designer can take the strict oval-in-rectangle layout, the engraved hatching on cloth, and the heraldic corner motifs as a template for formal memorial or commemorative sheets.
