"Libellus Novus Politicus Emblematicus Civitatum Pars Sexta", Meisner, Daniel

This is the title page for part six of Paulus Furst's edition of Meisner's famous emblem book. The corner medallions illustrate the four humors or temperaments: Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic and Phlegmatic. An illustration of a sailing ship above the title includes the Latin phrase, Silentio et Spe Fortitudo Mea (in silence and hope will be your strength) with a landscape below depicting the motto, Nec Sorte, Nec Fato (not by chance nor by fate).
