Whitney's Choice of Emblems is a book written by Geffrey Whitney and published in 1866. The book is a collection of emblems, which are symbolic images that represent a concept or idea. Each emblem is accompanied by a poem or motto that explains the meaning behind the image. The emblems in the book cover a wide range of topics, including love, friendship, death, and morality. They are presented in a decorative and ornate style, with intricate illustrations and calligraphy. Whitney's Choice of Emblems was originally published in 1586 and was one of the most popular emblem books of its time. This edition, published in 1866, includes a new introduction and commentary by the editor, Henry Green. Overall, Whitney's Choice of Emblems is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Renaissance symbolism and a valuable resource for scholars and lovers of art and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
