This small, ornate title page comes from Theodore de Bry's emblem book Emblemata Nobilitati et Vulgo Scitu Digna..., which was created to accompany young nobility on their travels through Europe. The book contains images of blank escutcheons interspersed with contemporary figures, scenes from mythology, and illustrations discouraging immoral sexual behavior, among other drawings and pages of Latin and German text. The title page features Latin and German text on an architectural structure surrounded by putti and cherubs in armorial dress.
