Centsprent: Bedelaar / Krygsman / Boer / Edelman, No. 2

Catchpenny print. Popular print showing the four classes: a beggar, soldier, farmer and nobleman. In each image an inscription: ‘Aes en Aes en heeft niet’; ‘Deux Aes en geeft niet’; ‘Quater trois moet geeven’; ‘Daer Sinque Six van moet leven’,This appears to be a reference to the ‘Deux-Aesbijbel’, named after a note with Nehemia 3:5, describing how the rich refused to contribute to the rebuilding of Jerusalem. The note reads: ‘Deux aes en heeft niet, six cinque en gheeft niet, quater dry die helpen vrij’. This refers to a dice game, meaning that the poor (deux aes) do not own anything, the rich (six and five) do not give anything, but the middle class (three and four) are the ones willing to help.Amsterdam, J. Wendel en Zoon (1819 - 1842); address mentioned on print: ‘Te Amsterdam, by, J.

Centsprent: Les 3 chemins de l’Eternité.

Catchpenny print. Popular print showing an allegorical map based on Matthew 7:13-14: ‘Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it’ (NIV).In this print’s version, there are not two, but three gates. The narrow gate and thorny path to the holy trinity in the heavenly Jerusalem is walked by pilgrims carrying the cross of Christ and the torch of faith. Through the wide gate go the unbelievers playing music and dancing, but they are led to the burning fire of hell. The third road is parallel to that of the true believers, but they failed on the way and are in the end still led to hell, because ‘death is unforgiving’. This is further explained in the inscription at the bottom: ‘Voyez, voici la Porte large, sans cesse ouverte à tout venant; chacun y entre sans obstacle. Qui veut gagner argent et biens, doit y porter ses pas en hâte. Des milliers ont déjà passé, jaloux d’honneur et de fortune: pour la volupté, l’ambition, il n’est pas un autre chemin; les chants, la danse et la musique forment des passagers l’escorte; petits et grands, pauvres et riches, tous croient en suivant cette route aller dans le sein d’Abraham.’Inscribed ‘F. G.’ (Francois Georgin) at the bottom right.Epinal, Jean-Charles Pellerin (1825). l Woodcut illustration (370 x 580 mm) on paper; stencil coloured in blue, green, red, brown and yellow; 16 captions clarifying elements in the illustrations; total: 425 x 645 mm; folded three times, some small tears along the folds; traces of previous mounting on verso.Gernier-Pelle p. 564, Dumont 1965 p. 37, Aynoud 1957 p. 358.
