About this work

Quotation: VT IMPROBO, ET STVLTO, ET INERTI NEMINI BENE ESSE POTEST... in a cartouche. At the bottom left and bottom right, a man kneels, his upper body trapped in scrollwork upon which a child sits striking the man's buttocks with sticks. Hatched background. From a series of a title page with 12 cartouches with quotations from classical authors in a frame of scrollwork with grotesques, mascarons and garlands. Second edition.
