About this work

Sheet with four oval images, each with inscription and date in Latin: top right Saint Anthony leaning on a walking stick with a bell attached, top left Saint Prisca with a lion next to her, bottom right Saint Germanicus leading a lion, bottom left Saint Fabianus with a palm branch and Saint Sebastian with two arrows. 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.
