1633

Jacques Callot (French, 1592-1635) published by Israël Henriet (French, 1590-1661)

France

Inscribed: See how the world goes, and how chance constantly pursues the children of the god Mars. Some, crippled, drag themselves along the ground. Others, more fortunate, receive promotion in war. Some die on a gallows by a fatal blow, and others go from the camp to the hospital.
