LVII Laet de Kieft stippen 1614

"LVII Laet de Kieft flippen" is an emblem print by Roemer Visscher, a prominent Dutch author and engraver. Created in 1614, it's one of many from his publication "Het Tweede Schock." The print depicts a hand holding a hat with a bird taking flight above. This emblem likely represents the Dutch proverb "laat de kievit flippen," meaning "let the lapwing fly away," suggesting someone who doesn't care about losing something valuable. Visscher's emblems, often with accompanying verses, combined visual and textual elements to convey moral lessons, making them popular for both education and entertainment.
