Their wares consisted of small printed matter, such as pamphlets, songbooks, almanacs, etc., which they carried along in a basket hung with a cord around their necks or around their middles. On this frontispiece a satyr is represented as pedlar/ bookseller. The book contains an anthology of `elegant satires' by `eminent men': well-known authors such as Justus Lipsius, the Emperor Justinian, Seneca, Petrus Nannius and others.
