Des wereldts proef-steen, ofte, De ydelheydt door de waerheyd beschuldight ende overtuyght van valscheydt
A Dutch-language emblem book of 1643, written by the Flemish cleric Antoine de Bourgogne with plates engraved by Andries Pauli and printed in Antwerp by the widow and heirs of Jan Cnobbaert for Catholic readers of moralizing verse. Each emblem is a small oval medallion, ringed by a beaded or banded border, showing peasants, travellers, gabled houses and church towers in dense cross-hatching, with woodcut headpieces of flowers spilling from a fluted vase; useful for vignette frames, hatched skies and figure groups at small scale.
