Het voorhof der ziele, behangen met leerzaeme prenten en zinnebeelden
A Dutch emblem book by Frans van Hoogstraten, printed at Rotterdam in 1668 with etchings by Romeyn de Hooghe, offering moralised pictures and verse to lay readers. The small plates set everyday figures — drovers with cattle, beggars on crutches, a hawker displaying a printed sheet, a man sprawling in a garden — against town walls and ruins in loose, scratchy line suited to vignettes and spot illustration.
