Iconologie, tirée de divers auteurs : ouvrage utile aux gens de lettres, aux poëtes, aux artistes, & généralement à tous les amateurs des beaux-arts
Jean-Baptiste Boudard's Iconologie, printed in Vienna by Johann Thomas Trattner in 1766, is an alphabetical dictionary of allegorical figures compiled for writers, poets and artists needing correct personifications. Each entry carries a small upright etching of a single draped or half-nude figure, seated or standing with an attribute, modelled in fine parallel hatching against ruled horizontal skies.
