Adversity gives man the crown of Glory

Page from a book (p. 198) with text and printer's device on the verso. In an oval cartouche, in the foreground, two putti are cutting twigs from a laurel tree. In the background, a triumphal procession of a ruler and his army. Above the cartouche, the title (motto) of the print and a biblical quote (2 Timothy). Below the print, an inscription: 'His reward is the crown' and a description explaining the print. One only earns a laurel crown of victory if one has known war and yet achieved victory. Therefore, man only deserves a reward if he has known adversity and persevered.
