contents: This emblem print (coloured by hand) has as caption `Het geluck Is in druck'. (Happiness is in print). The printer does his work at a simple wooden printing press. The print is derived from a volume devoted to the history of the Order of Jesuits, which also contains edifying texts with pictures. Here the copperplate printer draws a parallel with God's work and his own.
