- Abstract (en)
- Examines a series of four satirical engravings published by Willem Haecht in 1579, which use animal fables and rebuses to describe the political and economic condition of the Netherlands. Haecht probably authored the explanatory texts included on the prints, and the design of the images was probably the work of Martin van Cleef. Describes and interprets the allegories presented in the prints, in the context of Dutch and Flemish history and of the symbolic use of animals in art and in drama performed by chambers of rhetoric during this period. Discusses the relationship of the text to the image, and the implications of including French and German translations of these inscriptions.
