Image Title: One Sins and Another Is Punished

Description: The pictura of this emblem by the Italian jurist and writer Andrea Alciati (1492 – 1550 CE) features a man attempting to stone a dog. The animal bites the stones, thus misrecognizing the true enemy. The subscriptio treats of this as representative of the folly of those who virtually do the same in their social relations.
