SS. apostolorum et evangelistarum icones cum suis parergis a Theodoro VanLonto, delineatae
A 1620 Antwerp engraved book of saints' portraits published by Jean Baptiste Barbé, with plates designed by Theodoor van Loon and ornamental frames attributed to Wenceslas Cobergher, made for Catholic devotional and artistic use. Each plate shows a bust-length apostle or evangelist in an oval medallion surrounded by carved strapwork, putti, vases, and cartouches bearing the saint's name, offering designers a model for classical framing devices and label cartouches.
