Les poesies is a 1650 Paris collection of verse by the Jesuit poet Pierre Le Moine, printed by Augustin Courbé and illustrated with engraved emblems for a learned, literate readership. Its pictures are small, framed engraved emblems pairing a motto with a scene of sun, landscape, or ornamental border, and a designer could draw on their compact symbolic medallion structure and banner lettering for logo or heraldic-style work.
