Pia desideria; or, Divine addresses, in three books. Illustrated with XLVII. copper-plates
Pia desideria is a 1690 London devotional book of emblem-style religious verse, printed for Henry Bonwicke and originally written by Herman Hugo, with English translation by Edmund Arwaker and John Sturt, for English Christian readers. Its copper-plate engravings are finely hatched in black and white, showing angels and a kneeling devout figure in landscapes and caves, a useful model for dramatic line-engraved light and shadow and halo-lit figures.
