This satirical set of playing cards, *Negen kaarten met spotprenten op de Roomse Onfeilbaarheid* (Nine Cards with Caricatures on Roman Infallibility) from 1724, features a series of engravings ridiculing the authority of the Catholic Church. Created by an anonymous artist, the prints are a pointed critique of the doctrine of papal infallibility, with each card depicting a scene that mocks the Pope or the Church's practices. The set is a significant example of anti-Catholic propaganda during a period of religious tension in the Netherlands. These cards provide insight into the satirical art and religious debates of the 18th century.
