Book Synopsis
The emblem, an image accompanied by a motto and a verse or short prose passage, is both art and literature: in the emblem tradition, the image presents a story often with pictorial symbols and the verse below it drives home the picture-story's moral instruction. This book charts the rise and evolution of the emblem.
