Il Capitan Giovan Battista Zanchi da Pesaro

Description
Chapter title page from a book. At the top is the title "Il Capitan Giovan Battista Zanchi da Pesaro". Underneath is an engraving with a well, its base stamped with the phrase "MOTU CLARIOR". It is flanked by two nude women, each with a long fish coiling between her legs and a small (unwinged) boy holding one of her feet. The woman on left carries a sheaf of grain and the woman on the right carries a tree branch, possibly olives. The two boys flank a shield with a crenellated tower with a single door printed on it.
