Title
Coddige Droom van de Smalle en Brede Weg (Codde's Dream of the Broad and Narrow Way)
Description
English: Dutch satire on Jansenism in the Netherlands with an etching showing the contrasting fates of Jansenists and other religious people. A precipitous road winds upwards from a narrow gate at bottom through which an angel leads a pious man while another sounds the trumpet of Peace. A small number of men, mainly Jansenists, negotiate the stony path, but a monk and a Jesuit who have proceeded some distance fall off as it narrows. At top left, the leader, Archbishop Codde is welcomed at the gate of Heaven by St Peter. From top right, a broad road bordered by rose bushes curves gently down to Hell at the lower right and to Purgatory which fills the lower foreground. Monks, nuns, Jesuits and other clerics wander along to where Clement XI stands on one of the hills of Rome holding his triple cross to divert Theodore de Coc into Purgatory rather than Hell, in which direction a small devil tries to hook him; further to the left, a man stands on one of the Roman hills urinating into Purgatory. A large devil, with a horse's hind-quarters and wearing a Jesuit hat, stands at lower right with a bill-hook pushing a number of clergy into Hell; a greater number burn in Purgatory. Engraved title, and inscriptions thoroughout the image in Dutch; numbering 1-8 referring to aspects of the narrow way, and lettering a-m, on the broad way; verses in two columns, including legend; and below five lines referring to the election of Potkamp in place of Coc. (n.p.:[1705]).

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
