Recueil d'emblêmes, ou, Tableaux des sciences & des vertus morales
A 1685 Paris emblem book published by Jean Cochart, compiled from the work of Jean Baudoin and Marie Briot, and aimed at readers wanting moral and scientific lessons in pictured form. Its copperplate-style engravings are small, upright and densely hatched, each framed as a self-contained scene with a figure in the foreground and landscape behind, useful to designers seeking classical allegory, costume and crisp black-line narrative.
