Vintage illustration of a scene from Francois Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel, by Jules Garnier. Book 5 Chapter XI. Among 'em reigns the sixth essence; by the means of which they gripe all, devour all, conskite all, burn all, draw all, hang all, quarter all, behead all, murder all, imprison all, waste all, and ruin all, without the least notice of right or wrong; for among them vice is called virtue; wickedness, piety; treason, loyalty; robbery, justice.
