Deliciae Cranachianae is a 1672 German collection of copper engravings of peace and war inventions, published by Gottfried Schultze from the works of Ulrich von Cranach, a former general engineer, for lovers of artillery. Its pages are small framed etchings of classical gods and warriors set in landscapes, each with a numbered Latin caption such as Imago, with simple cross-hatched lines that a designer could draw on for mythological figure groupings and classical composition.
