$a A second edition appeared in the same year. Its title-page is identical with that of the first, except that the words 'Prostant apud Hieronymum Verdussen' are added to 'Venalia apud Auctorem'. This is one of several emblem-books by Veen and Cats, popular in the Netherlands. They combined a rich variety of images with mottoes of ethical import, following the example set by Alciati's Emblematum liber (1531). Interest in the genre was revived in 19th-century Britain by some book-illustrators and Pre-Raphaelite painters. The full-page illustrations are each faced by explanatory verses in Latin, Italian and French, printed on the verso of the preceding leaf. |
