Meer info
The first and only 4to edition of this emblem book, to which Van der Veen’s songbook is added. This is the only edition in which the distichs are given also in French.
Jan van der Veen (1587-1659) dedicated his book to the magistrates of Deventer, where the poet lived and had a pharmacy and probably also a grocery store.
The art historical importance of Savery’s etchings for the Adams Appel has been pointed out by Otto Benesch, who remarked that the delicate, painterly prints, often representing animals, figure ‘among the finest specimens of early Dutch naturalism in book illustration’. Later editions had smaller copies of the engravings of inferior quality.
According to the catalogue of Beijers’ Scheepers sale (1947) the etchings on p. 86 and 98 have been (erroneously) attributed to Rembrandt and those on p. 26, 58, 110 and 120 to M. Uytenbrouck.
As in all copies of this edition the emblem on page 54 is a cancel.
