Bry, Theodor de, 1528-1598 · 1592 · Impressum Fra[n]co. ad M. : [s.n.] · 82 pictures

An emblem and heraldry book engraved and published by Theodor de Bry at Frankfurt am Main in 1592, pairing emblematic scenes with mottoes and verses and appending a treatise on helmets and the origins of nobility for noble and general readers. The plates show blank shields crowned by tilting helms and swept mantling of curling acanthus and slashed cloth, useful as ready frames, crests and scrollwork for monograms or labels.
