Othonis VaenI Emblemata Horatiana : imaginibus in aes incisis : atque latino, germanico, gallico et belgico carmine illustrata
A 1684 Amsterdam edition of Otto van Veen's Emblemata Horatiana, printed by Hendrik Wetstein, pairing engraved emblems with verses drawn from Horace in Latin, German, French and Dutch for educated readers of moral philosophy. The small copper engravings set allegorical figures — Mercury, winged Time, Fortune with her wheel, enthroned kings, scales and altars — in cross-hatched interiors and burning landscapes, offering compact personifications, attribute props and dense hatching textures.
