A Century of Emblems

"A Century of Emblems" by George Spencer Cautley is a collection of illustrated poems crafted in the style of older emblem books from the 1800s. Inside, you will find a bunch of short poems combined with illustrations reflecting moral themes and philosophical questions to connect with audiences who are developing their own ideas about literature. The book is full of emblems – short, poetic expressions and pictures – that share the wisdom of nature, life, spirituality, and relationships. In these emblems, each poem provides a moral lesson through representations like innocence, as well as the challenges of existence, and the path to spiritual well being. Cautley's goal is to encourage readers to think about the complexities in their lives through meaningful verses and illustrations.
