Schuering voor Arnoldus Montanus op sijn boek genaamd Beroerden oceaan. : Waer in aangewesen werden, verscheyde sinneloose woorden, vuyle misgrepen, en andere onbillijkheden, in't voor-seyde boek gepleegd

unknown · 1656 · Tot Amsterdam. : Voor Cornelis Jansz. boek-verkooper by de nieuwe kerk. · 1 picture

A 1656 Dutch pamphlet printed in Amsterdam for the bookseller Cornelis Jansz at the New Church, a critical response to Arnoldus Montanus's book on the troubled ocean. The single picture is a heraldic achievement, a coat of arms with a crested helmet, scrolling mantling, a bird on the shield and a banner inscribed GAUDEO, drawn in fine line engraving. A designer could take from it the formal rhythm of symmetrical acanthus scrolls and the restrained engraved shading used for emblems and bookplates.
