Sinryke fabulen is a 1685 Dutch book of Aesop-style fables, published in Amsterdam by Hieronymus Sweerts with text attributed to Pieter de la Court and engravings by Jacob Gole, for moral instruction in everyday human and civic life. Its small framed engravings show animal fable scenes with fine parallel hatching, dense foliage, and distant towns and sails, a clear model for designers wanting crisp, old-fashioned black-line narrative vignettes with simple landscape backgrounds.
