Helicon Boemo-Hercynius, in quo nouem applausibus coronatur Neo-Rex Boemiæ Leopoldus
A Latin panegyric emblem book printed in Prague in 1656, its nine emblems saluting the young Leopold I on his coronation as King of Bohemia, addressed to the Habsburg court and its learned Jesuit-trained readers. The engravings pair a single device — crown on a hilltop, lion and eagle holding orbs, a starred globe in clouds, a flaming imperial crown above a village and a battle — with an unfurled ribbon carrying a short motto, giving designers isolated heraldic emblems, banderoles for lettering, and stipple-shaded ground and cloud forms.
