Légende
Het lusthuys van Pater Peters, en de Jesuwijten en Munniken, ontdekt door also known as Sic itur ad astra, scilicet. 1681 broadside etching with letterpress. Print shows scene in a bawdy house of pleasure frequented by Father Petre, Jesuits, and monks, where they mingle and dine with such figures as: Wantonness, Avarice, Sloth, Fury, and Vanity. Priests engage in lascivious acts and steal money from a dying person, a Protestant minister is driven away from the door, a fox delivers a sermon from a pulpit, and Jesuits help themselves to treasures in India. Individual figures numbered with key contained in dialogue between Eusebius and Simplicius.
