Idea de vn principe politico christiano : representada en cien empressas
A Spanish emblem book of statecraft by the diplomat Diego de Saavedra Fajardo, whose hundred emblems instruct a Christian prince in government, issued in Madrid in 1666 by Andrés García de la Iglesia. Each plate is a woodcut device set in an oval strapwork cartouche with fruit swags, scrolled volutes and a Latin motto on a ribbon, the scenes drawn in flat parallel hatching — usable as frames, cartouche borders and symbolic vignettes.
