His design elements extended past gold leaf inscriptions and intricate decorations. The substantial contribution he made to book design can be observed in his woodcut series <strong><em>Dance for Death<\/em><\/strong>. He also has many drawings that show his designs for jewellery, momentous frescos, and clothing. Many of his designs went on to inspire engravings for the distinctively English Greenwich armour.
