Emblemes, ou, Devises chrétiennes : ouvrage mêlé de prose & de vers, et enrichi de figures, dedié au roy
Emblemes, ou, Devises chrétiennes is a 1717 emblem book printed in Lyon by Mathieu Chavance, with verse by Marcellin Sibert, dedicated to the king. Each page pairs a numbered emblem, a circular framed engraving with a Latin motto, and French verse beneath it. The engravings are small, crisp black-and-white scenes of nature, interiors and light, offering a designer compact figurative vignettes and motto-and-image framing ideas for devices, seals and medallions.
