Inscription: Recto: lower left, brown ink, ‘AvD’ in monogram, type 2: 5. TvT. AvD; lower margin, brown ink: Apres une tempestre de neuf jours, Ulysse est jetté en la coste des Lotophages, afin de sçavoir quelles gens c’estoient, il envoye / à terre quelques-uns de ses compagnons, qui n’ont pas plustost gousté des fruicts de cette contrée, qu’ils oublient celle de leur naissance. / Mais la juste severité de leur chef les remet enfin dans le devoir, et les contraint de retourner aux vaisseaux; ce qui nous / apprend, qu’un brave courage doit toujours agir de bonne façon, et chastier la molesse de ceux qui le suivent. [After a nine-day storm, Ulysses is cast on the shores of the Lotus-eaters; in order to discover the identity of the people, he sent several of his companions ashore. Who has not previously tasted the fruits of this country may be led to forget that of their birth. But the righteous severity of their leader recalls them to their duty and makes them return to their boats. Which teaches us that true courage always acts correctly and punishes the weakness of those that follow]. Album page, Recto: upper left, graphite: 61971 / 13.
