Reusner, Nikolaus, Reusner, Jeremias · 1581 · 171 pictures

Emblem book by Nikolaus Reusner, with Jeremias Reusner, printed in 1581 for students of law and moral philosophy, pairing Latin mottoes and verse with small woodcut scenes. The woodcuts show figures in landscapes, a man with a sword beside a tree, a seated woman near a rocky clearing, and a classical scene of riders above a cloud, each framed by an ornate border. A designer could borrow the compact vignette-with-motto layout, the decorative rule borders, and the allegorical poses.
