Johan de Brune's 1624 Dutch emblem book, Emblemata or Zinne-werck, published in Amsterdam by Ian Evertsen Kloppenburch with engravings after Willem van de Passe and Christof Le Blon, aimed at readers correcting moral failings of the age. The pictures are small woodcut-style historiated initials, one showing a figure wrestling a large creature, one a vase sprouting branches, one a crowned figure beside a plant, and one an ornate scrolled letter with grotesque heads, giving designers period decorative letterforms and framing ideas.
