This is a 17th-century German emblem book of moral and religious figures, printed in Strasbourg by the engraver Jacob van der Heyden and compiled from scripture and early Christian teachers for a devotional readership. Its small framed engravings show allegorical and biblical scenes with a few lines of verse beneath each, offering designers compact compositions of figures, landscape and symbolic objects in a dense, hatched graphic style.
