The emblems engraved on these beakers are extracted from Jeremias Wolff's book of emblems, Dreyhundert Auserlesene anmuthig und Lehrreiche Sinn-Bilder, Augsburg published in 1716.
Emblems (allegorical illustrations) with accompanying explanatory text, typically morals or poems were popular in Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. Jeremias Wolff’s (1663–1724) publishing house in Augsburg created volumes of literature, religion, and travel, excelling at producing richly engraved print collections including emblems. By the first decades of the eighteenth century, Wolff’s press had established a firm reputation in the Empire for its specialization in this genre geared toward a broad readership of noble patrons, builders, artists and craftsmen and became staples of princely and private libraries across the Empire.
