Heliotropium is a 1630 Latin devotional treatise by Jeremias Drexel, published in Cologne (printed by Blaeu in Amsterdam) and dedicated to the Bavarian ducal couple Maximilian and Elizabeth. Its pictures are framed emblem plates with Latin mottoes, a sun-and-clouds sky, and small figures in landscape, showing how a designer can pair short captioned text with symbolic scenes in a single framed panel.
