Lychnocausia, siue, Moralia facum emblemata = Lights, morall emblems
Lychnocausia, or Lights, Morall Emblems is a 1638 London emblem book by Robert Farlie, printed by Thomas Cotes for Michael Sparke Junior, on the subject of light and candles. Each page pairs a Latin motto and English verse caption with an oval woodcut in a strapwork frame. The woodcuts show candles, flames and lamps in simple line engraving, with ornamental borders a designer could adapt for framed labels, motto plates, or heraldic-style cartouches.
