A German emblem book of 1746, engraved and published by Johann Andreas Pfeffel in Augsburg and printed by Christoph Peter Detleffsen, gathering over 400 numbered emblems with devotional mottoes and commentary for Protestant readers. The plates group four to six numbered roundels and lobed cartouches per sheet inside strapwork and shell borders, with mascarons, winged putti and allegorical figures at the edges, and each compartment holding a plant, tree, animal, ruin, tower or landscape scene rendered in fine line engraving, useful for frame systems, grid layouts and small emblematic vignettes.
