Hadriani Ivnii medici Emblemata. Eivsdem Aenigmatvm libellvs
An emblem book by the Dutch physician Hadrianus Junius, printed in Antwerp in 1566 by the Plantin press for a learned humanist readership. Its pictures are small framed woodcut scenes, each paired with a Latin motto, showing figures in landscapes with allegorical symbols. A designer could take from them the compact framing, the pairing of image and short text, and the way a single symbol carries a moral idea.
