Emblemes sacrez sur le tres-saint et tres-adorable sacrement de l'eucharistie
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.
