The print is based on Cockson's earlier work, "The Revells of Christendome" which cleverly satirizes prominent figures such as James VI & I, Henri IV of France, the Pope, Prince Maurice of Nassau, and Christian IV of Denmark.

It serves as a critique on the vices and corruption that can be associated with power and authority.

Overall, this engraving stands as a
