About this work

Sheet with four oval scenes, each with inscription and date in Latin: top left Job on the dunghill in conversation with a man and a woman, top right Saint Gangulphus of Varennes at a spring from which someone scoops water, bottom left Saint Epiphanius of Salamis exorcising a devil beside a woman, bottom right Mary in the midst of a large group of martyrs. 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) were cut in the third state into 12 small prints, and issued with a separate title page.
