An Italian-language edition of Andrea Alciati's emblem book, translated by Giovanni Marquale and printed by Guillaume Rouillé in Lyon in 1576, with woodcuts credited to Pierre Eskrich, made for educated readers who read pictures as moral lessons. Each page sets a small emblem scene and verse inside a heavy woodcut frame of strapwork, masks, grotesque figures, sphinxes, fruit swags and animals, giving designers reusable border units, corner ornaments and compact allegorical vignettes.
