Emblems, divine and moral
An 1818 Chiswick Press reprint of Francis Quarles's seventeenth-century emblem book, printed by Charles Whittingham for London bookseller Robert Jennings and readers of devotional verse. Small wood engravings pair a winged, haloed child with a soul figure in landscapes of hatched skies, towers, shorelines and trees, giving designers compact allegorical vignettes, numbered emblem headings and dense line shading.
