The page features several woodcut illustrations. In the center is a large rectangular emblem containing a circular border with a landscape scene inside; the border appears to contain a motto, and the frame is supported by two figures. To the right is an oval Jesuit seal featuring the "IHS" monogram with a cross above and three nails below. To the left is a crowned coat of arms featuring the fleurs-de-lis of France and the chains of Navarre. Below the Jesuit seal is a smaller circular mark or vignette.
