Regii fvneris pompa : tabulis, epicherematis, & statuis instructa : praecipuè verò emblematis ornata quamplurimis

Bosso, Girolamo, 1588-1650 · 1621 · Mediolani : Apud Io. Iacobum Comum · 1 picture

Regii fvneris pompa is a 1621 Milanese book by Girolamo Bosso, published by Giovanni Giacomo Comi, describing the funeral of Philip III of Spain and filled with emblems. The single picture is a circular emblem printed in a laurel wreath, with a lion, a sun, a caduceus-like staff with a serpent, and the Latin motto INGENIO ET LABORE. It shows how a designer might borrow the compact roundel format, with a wreath border and a central heraldic beast, for a seal or badge.
