Imago primi saeculi Societatis Iesu is a 1640 Latin book published in Antwerp by the Plantin press under Balthasar Moretus, commemorating the first century of the Jesuit order in the Flemish-Belgian province, with engravings by Jacques van de Walle and text by Bolland, Tollenaere, and Hossche. The four pictures are ornate engraved cartouches framing small landscapes, scenes, and vignettes; a designer might take from them the layered scrollwork, grotesque masks, and fruit swags that frame each pictorial field.
