Imagination of the proverb 'Reflect before you begin', anonymous, 1674 Canvas Print
Moralistic representation that is sometimes interpreted as a cartoon on the Arminians or on the counts of Egmond and Hoorne. Possibly a cartoon on the Bishop of Munster or Prince Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, based on the note of the date 1674 3/24 (24 March) on the print. The inscription in the middle 'Sy learns to keep maet, in all datmen does and siet' indicates the subject of the performance better. The subject can also be expressed as: 'Reflect before you begin' or 'He works his way into trouble'. Despite the warnings of an old man, a young man dives into the wide opening of a large horn. However, he then gets stuck in the narrow end. On the right, a smiling jester looks out the window. See also the interpretation of the 'horn crawler'. With seven verses in the show.
