Dan. Heinsii Nederduytsche poemata ; by een vergadert en uytgegeven door P. S

Heinsius, Daniel, 1580-1655, Schrijver, Pieter, 1576-1660 · 1618 · Amsterdam : Gedruct by W. Janssen · 73 pictures

Dutch-language collected poems of the Leiden humanist Daniel Heinsius, gathered and published by Pieter Schrijver in Amsterdam in 1618, including his love emblems for a vernacular literary readership. The small oblong engravings set a winged Cupid alone in open landscapes — shooting arrows, tending beehives, grafting a sapling, sitting beside a flame — with hatched foliage, distant cottages and blank sky, useful for cut-out figures, tree and shrub motifs, and compact emblem frames.
