Notes

One print in a set of similar woodcuts, probably printed at the same time and probably cut by the same craftsman, possibly in France: two of them (Wellcome Library nos. 31807i and 31811i) have lettering in French and one (31807i) includes Saint Lous and Saint Genevieve. The set includes Wellcome Library nos. 31807i, 31809i, 31811i (the present print), and 31848i
