Petri Baardt's Dutch emblem book Deught-spoor, published in 1645 at Leeuwarden by Hans Willems Coopman, pairs Dutch verses with moralising copperplate scenes of everyday life and vice. The engravings are small, crisply hatched and framed by a verse heading, showing interiors, street figures and professional types in plain narrative poses a designer could adapt for period character vignettes or emblematic captions.
