Hortvs volvptatvm, qui sua nihilominus etiam producit moralia : in floridae juuentutis gratiã editus ac diuulgatus
A 1599 emblem book of engravings published in Cologne and attributed to Crispijn van de Passe, made for young readers who were meant to learn moral lessons from the pictures and their Latin verses. Its plates show courtly figures in garden and interior scenes, each set above a pair of Latin verses. A designer could take from them the compact layout of a framed scene over a two-column caption, and the dense hatched line work that gives costume and foliage their texture.
