- It is customary to distinguish three components in an emblem: the pictura or symbolic image or picture, accompanied by the preceding inscriptio or motto and the subsequent subscriptio, usually an explication in verse of the idea expressed in combination of the inscriptio and the pictura.
- 2010, Simon McKeown, The International Emblem: From Incunabula to the Internet, →ISBN, page 183:
- Clearly, the relationship between pictura and motto became more literal in this emblem.
