Folger-specific note
From dealer's description: "Rare anti-Jesuit broadside in which the author claims in his short report ('Kurtzer Bericht') that the Society of Jesus is alone responsible for the present state of war in Bohemia and presents his own interpretation of prophesied Jesuit intrigues. "A broadside with an anti-Jesuits prophecy, warning Protestants to beware of the Jesuits' desire to destroy peace in the empire; with an etching showing five independent scenes: on the left a group of four Jesuits tearing a document, in the left background a chair standing upside down over a rope and a Jesuit's cap; in the centre a stall selling weapons to Jesuits, financed by peasants, in the right background a group of Jesuits holding processional crosses upside down, and in the right foreground two pigs killing two lambs" (BM cat. online) Paas suggests Eberhard Kieser as the possible printmaker based on stylistic grounds." Ordered from Jeffrey D. Mancevice, Inc., D 8952 2016-02-02, Cat. "January Miscellany", no. 23.
