This German etching from around 1625 entitled ‘See, how the devilish witches swarm’ (Plate 2.11) is typically of the genre, depicting a large number of devils, demons and witches involved in all sorts of nightly, magical and demonical activities in a mountain valley, while the text warns the reader of the danger of such activities. ` Page 89
