An emblem book of 1612 published in Antwerp by Philippus Lisaert, with engraved plates by Otto van Veen and his brother Gijsbert, illustrating Horace's odes for a learned Latin-reading audience. The pictures are dense engravings with crisp hatching, classical architecture, and small figures in staged scenes, offering a designer models of cross-hatched tonal modelling and of allegorical narrative composition.
