Description

Celestine en laquelle est traicte des deceptions des serviteurs envers leurs maistres et des macquerelles envers les amoureux. Paris: Nicolas Cousteau, Galliot Du Pré.
Total of 22 engravings, one per act and one for the cover. Almost all are factotums and the same images are repeated various times, often using the same images for two different characters and inconsistently changing the used image for a character. Only the illustration from act XX is not a factotum and seems to come from another illustrated book.
- Entire digitalized copy on BNF Gallica, where these images are found.
