Speculum diuersarum imaginum speculatiuarum

Bruegel, Pieter · 1638 · Antuerpiae : Apud Ioannem Gallaeum · 12 pictures

Speculum diuersarum imaginum speculatiuarum is a 1638 Antwerp book of engraved emblematic plates published by Ioannes Galle after designs attributed to Pieter Bruegel, offering moral and cultural allegory for a learned audience. Its plates pair dense figure groups and architectural settings with Latin verses beneath, showing how a designer might arrange crowded narrative scenes, classical costume and bordered text panels within a single page.
