Scarce etching. Sheet 195 x 275mm (7¾ x 10¾"). Trimmed into image on three sides.
The French title: ''To cure sickness and any damaging ailment, They distill here various herbs''. From Norske National Costume Chr. Tonsberg Christiania" 1852. The interior of an alchemist's rundown workshop, the monkeys dressed in rags. To highlight the theme that there was no money to be made in the profession, the family can be seen in the background entering the workhouse.

The Rijksmuseum lists editions by Philips Galle (c. 1580 as 'La vie humaine imitée par les singes') and Claes Visscher.
