Archetypa studiaque patris Georgii Hoefnagelii [Part 3, Plate 1]
Two large cornucopias overflowing with fruits and flowers are placed at the center of the illustration. A globe sits on a ribbon between them. The artwork is in black and white, and the cornucopias mirror each other. Various creatures are positioned throughout the image, including a rabbit leaping over one cornucopia, a lobster near the ribbon labeled "PARS," a squirrel climbing a branch by the other cornucopia, and a turtle near the text "TERTIA." Two birds flank the central ribbon under the globe, which has an inscription. Additional elements such as butterflies, dragonflies, and plants are scattered throughout.
