Het masker vande wereldt afgetrocken
A Dutch emblem book by the Flemish Jesuit Adriaen Poirters, first issued in the 1640s and reprinted at Amsterdam in 1733 for lay readers seeking moral instruction. Small copperplate emblems pair scenes stacked in two registers: a scholar at a desk, a woman spinning while a devil tugs a feathered dandy, a child fleeing bees, courtiers at a garden pavilion.
