Zinne-beelden der liefde, met puntdigten
A Dutch emblem book of love, Willem den Elger's verse epigrams paired with engraved emblems, printed in Amsterdam by J. Roman de jonge in 1732 for readers of moralizing amatory poetry. The small copperplate scenes set winged Cupid and robed figures in Low Countries landscapes with moated houses, brick chapels, weathervanes, straw beehives and sparse foreground plants, under rayed clouds — useful for cut-out figures, vignette borders and simple line landscape backdrops.
