An emblem book by Andrea Alciati, with woodcut illustrations attributed to Sebastian Stockhammer and Bernard Salomon, printed in Lyon in 1580 for a learned readership of humanists and emblem collectors. The small woodcut scenes pair a moral motto with an allegorical image, showing figures in landscapes, dramatic skies, and everyday encounters that a designer could draw on for compact narrative vignettes.
