Jacques Callot. The Wheel, plate fourteen from The Miseries of War. 1633. France. Etching on paper Inscribed The ever-watchful eye of divine Astraea [Justice] completely banishes mourning from a region when, holding the sword and scales in her hands, she judges and punishes the inhuman thief who lies in wait for peasants, murders them and toys with them, then becomes himself the plaything of the wheel.
