Schat der gesontheyt is a 1636 Dutch health treatise by Jan van Beverwyck, with verse by Jacob Cats, printed in Dordrecht by Mathias Havius and Hendrick van Esch for a general readership. Its frontispiece shows a seated allegorical figure above a crowd of classical personifications, while the second plate shows a winged youth striding across clouds above a distant city, offering designers dense, orderly engraved crowds and allegory for editorial use.
