Beschrijving lot
2 bifolia, 3 single folio ff., 3 smaller ff. (31,5 x 19,5, 24,5 x 19,5 or 31,5 x 10 cm), [16] pp. (some staining, edges frayed).
In good condition.
Intriguing satirical comic strip (?), with 49 pen-drawn scenes, apparently in no clear order, accompanied by French or Dutch rhyming couplets about a curious person called "Sicke". A number of the scenes are of a scatological nature. The satirical character is illustrated by verses like "Ik trekke in mijn kot | Den wysen met den sot | Je tire dans mon trou | Les sages et les fous".
