A Latin Catholic devotional emblem book on the Virgin Mary as mother of love and sorrow, compiled by Antonius Ginther and printed by Martin Veith at Augsburg in 1741 for preachers building sermons and for private meditation. The 96 small copperplate emblems set each device in an oval frame of acanthus scrollwork under a ribbon banner carrying a Latin motto, with flaming hearts on altars, grafted and split trees, thistles and flowering stems, and thin ruled landscapes behind; useful for cartouche shapes, banner lettering, and isolated plant and heart motifs.
