Antwerp became the center of European print production in the late sixteenth century. Its enterprising publishers coordinated vast projects illustrating an encyclopedic range of subjects. Organized by the Galle family and designed by a Flemish artist living in Florence, Nova Repertum depicted the supposed origins of important modern inventions. This scene of the preparation and ministering of a cure for syphilis is a striking inclusion and a famous image in the history of the disease.
