Love is Blind |

Description |
English: Emblem books were a popular source of amusement during the late medieval period. They offered mysterious images whose meaning had to be puzzled out through a combination of contemplating the illustration and reading the accompanying text. These emblems offered a moral to be pondered, and often the message was related to love. Here, a blindfolded man precariously teeters at the top of a cliff and, unaware of the danger, takes a step forward. The moral: love is blind. |
