This 17th-century Dutch engraving, created by an anonymous artist, is an invitation to attend a performance of Samuel Coster's play *Iphigenia* in 1617. The engraving features two figures on horseback, each carrying a banner, one inscribed with *VIRTUS* (virtue) and the other with *JUSTITIA* (justice). This visual element likely references the themes of the play. The engraving is a valuable artifact offering insight into the Dutch theatrical scene of the 17th century. *Iphigenia* was a popular play at the time, and this invitation provides a glimpse into the promotional strategies used to attract audiences.
