Very good impression on wove paper
The greatest beast in the Bible.
Babylon the Great, commonly known as the Whore of Babylon, refers to both a symbolic female figure and a place of evil as mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. Her full title is stated in Revelation 17:5 as "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth" (Greek: μυστήριον, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς,
From the book of Revelation in the Bible: Chapter 17 verses 3-5
3. and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
The Whore of Babylon; clothed in a Venetian costume and holding a cup aloft, she is mounted on a beast with seven heads, the destruction of Babylon in the background, with German letterpress text on the verso. One of 15 illustrations of the 1498 German edition.
