Piæ considerationes ad declinandvm à malo et faciendvm bonvm, cum iconibus Viæ vitæ æernæ

Sucquet, Antoine, 1574-1626, Bolswert, Boetius, a 1580-1633?, Lerch, Johann Martin, fl. 1659-84 · 1672 · Viennæ Austriæ · 38 pictures

This is a Latin devotional book of 1672 printed in Vienna, Austria, by Antoine Sucquet with engravings by Boetius Bolswert and Johann Martin Lerch, meant for Catholic readers seeking moral guidance. Its pictures are dense engraved allegorical scenes with a radiant Trinity or Madonna at top, crowds of small figures, angels and devils, and the captions and letters scattered across the plates. A designer might take the layered crowded composition, the radiant mandorla motif and the emblematic use of lettered labels.
