Den wech des eeuwich levens
A Dutch-language Catholic devotional book, Den wech des eeuwich levens, written by Antoine Sucquet and engraved by Boëce van Bolswert, printed in Antwerp in 1622 by Hendrick Aertssens for lay readers of Christian life and ethics. Its engravings are densely layered allegorical scenes, with heaven, a saint's vision and earthly action stacked vertically, many ringed with Latin captions and lettered keys. A designer might borrow the tiered composition and the crowded, labelled emblem structure.
