Nader JOK en ERNST over de SLAAPENDE BOER te Stolwijk (Further Jest and Earnest on the Sleeping Farmer of Stolwijk)

This Dutch engraving combines multiple scenes around a central deathbed tableau, typical of early 18th-century moral print sheets. Six oval vignettes depict events in a farmer's life—village scenes, illness, supernatural visitations—while German verse below recounts a cautionary tale of sudden death and divine judgment. The composition descends from Reformation broadsheets and anticipates later European picture-sheets like the German Bilderbogen. Medical and religious authorities debate the farmer's fate, mixing folk superstition with learned disputation. The dense text and emblematic imagery reflect a transitional moment between Renaissance allegory and modern sequential narrative—ancestors of both political satire and the comic strip's multi-panel form.
