JOHN BALESDENS

A woodcut emblem framed by a thick laurel wreath depicts a bearded man in a short tunic and boots working the soil with a spade. In the background, a small village with a church steeple is visible to the left, and a bird sits on a gnarled tree stump to the right. From a radiant cloud in the upper right, divine light shines down, containing the Hebrew Tetragrammaton (יהוה). Two scrolls flanking the light bear the motto "FAC ET SPERA" Do and hope.
