Guilielmi HesI Antuerpiensis è Societate Iesu Emblemata sacra de fide, spe, charitate
Guilielmus Hesius, a Jesuit of Antwerp, published this 1636 Latin emblem book in Antwerp at the Plantin press, a devotional collection of sacred emblems on faith, hope and charity for religious readers. Its pictures are small woodcut putti and a crescent-moon scene, with plain linework, shaded clouds and rays, and a designer could borrow their compact, playful figure poses and dense hatching for line illustration.
