Plattegrond van Heukelum, letterpress print

description

Summary

Plattegrond in vogelvluchtperspectief. Linksboven het wapen van Asperen (mogelijk ook gebruikt voor Heukelum). Linksonder een cartouche met de titel en de legenda 1-4. Boven rechts van het midden een schaalstok: 240 pedes geometrici. Op verso Nederlandse tekst.

A cartouche or cartouch is an oval design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian cartoccia. Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (illustration, left). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's Lives, framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery cartoccia.
