the causes not only of the clamors or revel-

An oval engraved illustration set within a decorative cartouche featuring scrollwork and floral motifs. The scene inside shows a group of several men in 17th-century dress and hats on the left, looking toward the center. In the center, a man stands in a contemplative or explanatory pose, facing a pedestal on the right. Upon the two-tiered stone pedestal stands a nude male statue (Harpocrates), holding a finger to his lips in the traditional gesture of silence. The background shows an interior with an arched doorway and a recessed wall panel.
