Tafereel van overdeftige zinnebeelden, gemaelt naer de deuchden, ondeuchden, gemoetsdriften der menschen, straffen Godts, en zegeningen
A Dutch emblem book by Petrus Zaunslifer, printed in Amsterdam by Gerard onder de Linden in 1722, cataloguing personifications of virtues, vices, passions, divine punishments and blessings for readers and artists seeking standard allegorical types. Each numbered plate is a small copper engraving of a single standing female figure in loose classical drapery, holding an attribute — a lion mask, scroll, palm branch, bird, serpent underfoot — inside a ruled double border, offering designers ready-made allegorical figures, attribute vocabulary and framed vignette layouts.
