Iconologie für Dichter, Künstler und Kunstliebhaber

Stöber, Joseph, 1768-1852, Sambach, Christian, 1761-1797 · 1807 · Wien : Bey Anton Doll · 196 pictures

An iconology handbook published in Vienna in 1807 by Anton Doll, with plates by Joseph Stöber after designs by Christian Sambach, made as a reference of allegorical figures for poets, artists and collectors. Each small oval engraving shows a single draped personification in an open landscape with her attribute — torch, cornucopia, spear, tablet — drawn in fine parallel-line shading against blank sky.
