A Dutch moralising emblem book printed in Amsterdam in 1620, made by Dirck Volkertszoon Coornhert with engravings by Jan Wierix and text by Bernard Gerbrands Furmerius, aimed at readers who wanted instruction and entertainment about wealth. Its engravings are fine, crowded line scenes of allegorical and classical episodes, with figures in loose drapery, architecture and classical props, offering a designer clear models for compositions on greed, exchange and fortune.
