This anonymous print, created sometime between 1685 and 1720, is a circular emblem of the University of Leiden. Depicting the Roman goddess Minerva, the emblem features lists of professors and their dates of service, as well as the dates of notable events in the University's history. The text surrounding Minerva reads "Laborvm Pilevs" and "Praemivm Non Ville," which translates to "The reward of labor is not the city." This circular print is a testament to the prestige and academic excellence of the University of Leiden during the 17th and 18th centuries.
