Symbolor & emblematum ... centuria una [-quarta]

Camerarius, Joachim, 1534-1598, Siebmacher, Johann, d. 1611 · 1661 · Francofurti, Impensis Iohannis Ammonij · 544 pictures

This is a 1661 Frankfurt emblem book by Joachim Camerarius and Johann Siebmacher, published by Johann Ammonius, offering moral and symbolic images for scholars and educated readers. The pictures are small round copper-engraved vignettes, each set in a beaded circular border, showing a single plant or tree within a quiet landscape with water, birds, and clouds; a designer might borrow their compact circular framing and fine hatched line work for emblem-style roundels.
