De weeck-wercken, der ghedenckwaerdighe historien, leer-gedichten, en spreucken, &c.
De weeck-wercken is a 1657 Dutch book of historical stories, instructive poems and proverbs by Johan van Nyenborgh, printed at Groningen by Jan Cöllen. The pictures are small engraved decorations: an initial letter, ships labelled Amsterdam and Gouda, and a title page with cherubs framing the text. A designer could take from them the compact vignette style of seventeenth-century Dutch engraving, with its ornamental borders and simple linear sailing scenes.
