Hertzen Schuel is a 1664 devotional emblem book printed at Augsburg by the publisher Johann Weh, with text by Benedictus van Haeften and engravings after Boëce van Bolswert and Carl Stengel, intended for Catholic readers meditating on the soul. Its small engraved plates show winged angels and robed figures in simple outdoor settings, with clear, sparse line work a designer could adapt for allegorical or spiritual imagery.
