In the third decade of the sixteenth century, engravers began to frame booklets that offered examples of decorative images and objects with written explanations of their motivations for issuing the proposed designs. Prior to this use of text, earlier engravings by Martin Schongauer and Israhel van Meckenem employed vegetal motifs with severed stems to convey that their compositions were available for selection, drawing an analogy between the utilization of prints by fellow craftsmen and the process of plucking from nature. This vocabulary of extraction returns in the rhymed couplets and playful images of Christoph Jamnitzer’s “Neuw Grotteßken Buch” of 1610.

选择的问题：印刷设计提案和选择的性质，1470-1610

在 16 世纪的第三个十年，雕刻师开始制作小册子，这些小册子提供了装饰图像和物体的示例，并书面解释了他们发布拟议设计的动机。在使用文字之前，Martin Schongauer 和 Israhel van Meckenem 的早期版画使用带有切断茎的植物图案来传达他们的作品可供选择，在其他工匠使用版画和从大自然中采摘的过程之间进行类比. 这种提取词汇在 1610 年 Christoph Jamnitzer 的“Neuw Grotteßken Buch”的押韵对联和俏皮图像中回归。
