Veen, Otto van, 1556-1629, Veen, Gijsbert van, 1558-1630, engraver, Ledesma, Alonso de, fl. 1600, Hattron, Charles Philippe, Moretus, Balthasar, 1615-1674, printer, Nash, N. Frederick (Norman Frederick), 1936-, former owner. IU-R · 1660 · Antverpiae [Antwerp] : Ex officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti · 63 pictures

An emblem book of 1660 printed at Antwerp by the Plantin press, with plates after Otto van Veen and engraved by Gijsbert van Veen, pairing short verses on divine love with images. The engravings show putti with halos and wings, many in landscapes or interiors, and a designer could take from them the emblematic habit of a single figure gesture or object carrying a moral meaning.
