One sheet with fifty-two cards or vignettes illustrating and explaining the mythological narratives of Ovid. Each card has a short commentary, with a cumulative index and descriptions at the bottom of the page. Unlike some game prints, this sheet was not meant to be cut apart but to be used and studied as a single chart.
The characters come from Ovid’s Metamorphoses, such as Ocyroé or Ocyrhoe on the left, who was a daughter of Chiron and Chariclo. Apollo turned her into a horse because she was an excellent prophetess (Book 2, part 3). http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/latin/ovid/ovidillust.html
