Alle de werken van Publ. Ovidius Naso
This is an edition of Ovid's collected works, published in Amsterdam in 1700 by the bookseller Pieter Mortier, with Dutch text and engraved plates for a general reading public. The pictures are small engraved roundels of classical figures, such as a draped goddess inside a coin-like border with Latin inscriptions, and a full-scene engraving of a seated figure attended by a winged child and a woman with a cornucopia, showing how 18th-century Dutch printers framed antique imagery in neat ornamental borders a designer could adapt for medallion or seal motifs.
