When words and images form connections, the potential of their contents and their plausibility can be strengthened through the incorporation of verbal and pictorial traditions. The resulting combinations can be elaborated through the use of additional iconological elements. The means in which the respective situations and intentions give rise to innovations is examined here, particularly in illustrated broadsheets and emblematics, as it is here that the assertiveness of text-image connections can be easily observed.
