content: Page with two plates printed next to one another. The left plate is a title page, with the title printed in the center, surrounded by a grotesque frame comprised of a mascaron with bat wings at the top, spindles, scrolling acanthus leaves, garlands, ribbons, snakes, and horn-blowing angels. At the bottom of the plate is a female winged figure seated on a cloud, with quill to a blank slate, and with flags, shields, and a helmet surrounding her. The right plate has designs for four trophies, with attributes of Hercules (upper left), the arts (upper right), animal masks (lower left), and wings (lower right). The plate is not signed, but is numbered.
