A 1866 London reprint by Lovell Reeve of Geffrey Whitney's 1586 emblem book, a facsimile edited by Henry Green with essays and notes, aimed at scholars of Renaissance emblems and early printing. The three pictures are woodcut emblems from the original, each set in an ornate border with a Latin motto above or below, showing allegorical figures and everyday scenes a designer could adapt for symbolic imagery.
