Redel, August Casimir, 1656-1705, Bodenehr, Georg Conrad, 1663-1710 · 1699 · Augustae Vindelicorum : Venduntur apud Iohann Philipp Steüdner · 101 pictures

A Latin emblem book of 1699 by August Casimir Redel, engraved by Georg Conrad Bodenehr and sold in Augsburg by Johann Philipp Steudner, dedicated to the Bavarian electoral prince Karl Albrecht and arranged as a calendar year of emblems addressed to every station of life. The plates are gridded sheets of small etched vignettes with two-line leonine verse captions beneath: figures in late-seventeenth-century dress at tables, bloodletting and sickbeds, ring dances, winged Cupid, torch-bearing personifications and skeletons, all drawn in thin open line on bare ground, useful as spot illustrations, grid layouts or caption-and-image pairings.
