A 1563 Frankfurt book of Latin and German verses by Johannes Posthius, illustrated by Virgil Solis, retelling Ovid's Metamorphoses for painters, goldsmiths and sculptors. Its pictures are small woodcut scenes of mythic episodes set in landscape, each framed by dense ornamental strapwork with putti, masks and grotesques that a designer could borrow for decorative borders and cartouches.
