Camerarius, Joachim · 1593 · 42 pictures

A 1593 Latin emblem book by the Nuremberg physician Joachim Camerarius, collecting one hundred plant-based emblems with brief notes on herbal properties and memorable sayings. Each emblem is a circular engraved vignette framed by a beaded border, showing a single tree or plant set in a small landscape. A designer could take from them the roundel format, with a central tree silhouetted against distant hills and simple hatched ground, as a compact way to frame a botanical motif.
