"Le Blon heeft zijn vriend Willem Jansz Blaeu geholpen bij de nieuwe drukken van Daniel Heinsius' Nederlandse gedichten (...) Met zijn broer Christoffel, Simon van de Passe en anderen maakte hij kleine adaptaties in zeer klein formaat van de gravures naar De Gheyn voor de Emblemata amatoria. Deze waren bestemd voor de miniatuur uitgave van c. 1615 (...) Deze prentjes vindt men ook in de kwarto uitgave van het volgend jaar, onder de titel Nederduytsche poemata. Deze bijzonder fijne gravures, die aan goudsmidwerk doen denken, zijn karakteristiek voor de kunst van Le Blon" (Fontaine Verwey II,64).
- Engr. title inner margin strengthened and reattached; upper margin first text leaf w. portrait on verso cut short; yellowed/ sl. browned.
