Description

With 40 numb., nearly full-page emblematic engravings by Christoph Murer. 6 lines rhymed text below the engravings. 6 unn. pp., 40 leaves. 4to (228 x 170 mm). Contemp. marbled boards. Zurich, Johann Rudolff Wolff, 1622 (for Orell Füssli, 1820), Christoph Murer (1558-1614) was one of the most important figures among the artists in Zurich. These engravings are well- done compared to the sometimes low or mediocre standards of emblem books. This important series of pictures proves the full fillment of Murer's development, that was influenced by Dutch art. This series of XL Emblemata was first published in 1622. The copper plates remained intact and were in possession of the company Orell Füssli, who made this present new edition in 1820.- Slightly foxed. - Lonchamp 2531; Leemann-van Elck, Die zürcherische Buchillustration, p. 89 & 96; Vignau-Wilber, LX.
