A 1716 emblem book of 300 selected emblems by Jeremias Wolff, published in Augsburg, printed with Latin, French, Italian and German mottoes for scholars and collectors of symbolic imagery. Its pages hold rows of round engraved plates, each showing a small allegorical scene with a figure, object or animal, and a designer can borrow the compact circular frames and the habit of pairing a picture with a motto.
