Mikrokósmos = Paruus mundus
Mikrokósmos, published in Frankfurt in 1618 by Jacobus de Zetter and credited to Laurens van Haecht and Gerard de Jode, is a small emblem-style book of moralizing scenes for a learned readership. Its pictures are small, densely hatched engravings with clear figures, landscape backgrounds and gestures, useful to a designer for compact narrative staging, expressive poses and fine line shading in a single frame.
