Verzámeling van uitgekórene zin-spreuken, en zinnebeeldige print-vercieringen : eertyds, op bevel van den aller doorlugtigsten keizer der Russen, Peter Alexis, of de Gróte, getékent en gesnéden : en nu op nieus verrykt : met agthondert en veertig byschriften in verzen
A Dutch emblem book published by Johannes Marshoorn in Haarlem in 1743, with 840 verse mottoes by Hermanus van den Burg set beside engraved devices by Joseph Mulder, first cut for Tsar Peter the Great and reissued for Dutch readers of moral instruction. Each numbered roundel holds one small scene—a bee, a stag, a scorpion, a stone altar, putti at work, a flowering stem on a low horizon—line-engraved and usable as emblem spots, medallion motifs, or vignette stock.
