This anonymous print from 1587-1595 is a cartouche featuring a scrollwork design and Latin inscription. The cartouche is octagonal in shape, with intricate flourishes that frame a central oval containing the text "Cum Privilegio Imperiali, Regio, et Belgico, ad decenn. 1587." The cartouche exemplifies the decorative style of the 16th century, with an emphasis on symmetry, intricate detail, and a sense of formality. The scrollwork and the inscription suggest that this design might have been intended as a title page or a decorative element for a printed document.
