About this work

Sheet with four oval images, each with inscription and date in Latin: top left Saint Genevieve whose candle is blown out by a little devil and relit by a little angel, top right Saint Titus addressing his parishioners from a pulpit, bottom right Simon Stylites standing on a pillar, bottom left the three wise men from the east who offer the newborn Christ their gifts. This print is part of a series of prints depicting the saints and the Christian feast days of the year. Four scenes from one plate are always printed on one sheet. Including the corresponding title page and frontispiece, there are in total 124 plates (490 scenes). The three plates with the last 12 scenes (the moveable Christian feast days) are cut in the third state into 12 small plates, and issued with a separate title page.
