Mendo, Andrés, 1608-1684 · 1662 · A costa de Horacio Boissat y George Remeus · 139 pictures

Andrés Mendo's Spanish emblem book of political and moral instruction for princes and their ministers, printed in 1662 by Horacio Boissat and George Remeus in Lyon. Relief-cut ornament dominates: symmetrical headpieces built from scrolled brackets, hanging flower swags, perched birds and a grinning mask, plus display initials set in laurel and leaf frames, all in coarse black line usable as borders, monograms and drop caps.
