A closer look at the print
The central image depicts a muscular man with a beard draped in cloth, resting on a simple wooden stool. He grips a distinctive curved sickle in his right hand, a symbol traditionally associated with the god Saturn. Above him, the words KEEP SATURN appear in a serif font, with the second word colored deep red to emphasize the subject. Below the figure, the phrase IN SATURNALIA! completes the sentence in black capital letters. The style mimics an old woodcut or etching, giving the card a scholarly yet playful appearance. This visual combination belongs to the genre of historical satire, blending academic imagery with pop culture wordplay.
