Chesneau, Augustin, 17th cent, Lubin, Augustin, 1624-1695, Flamen, Albert, 17th cent, Lambert, Florentin, d. 1693 or 94 · 1667 · A Paris : Chez Florentin Lambert ... · 107 pictures

A seventeenth-century Paris emblem book on the Eucharist, compiled from texts by Augustin Chesneau, Augustin Lubin and Albert Flamen and published in 1667 by Florentin Lambert for devotional readers. Its pictures are small engraved landscapes, each under a Latin or French motto, that use cliffs, snowy hills, a leaning tree and a bird's nest to carry a moral; a designer could borrow their compact pictorial storytelling for devotional or allegorical imagery.
