A Dutch emblem and fable collection by Pieter de la Court, with engravings by Jacob Gole, published in Amsterdam by Hieronymus Sweerts in 1685 and aimed at burgher readers seeking moral lessons for private and civic life. The plates are small numbered rectangles in which animals — dogs, foxes, lions, geese, owls — act out fables in open landscapes with lightly hatched skies, distant towns and heavy foreground trees, useful for compact vignettes, animal silhouettes and ruled-line sky textures.
